Traditionally, Crab Louis is a salad comprised ofcrab meat, hard boiled eggs, olives & perhaps tomatoes,
served on a bed of lettuce &
topped with a dressing made from chili sauce
mayonnaise, onion, sugar & Worcestershire sauce.
I found the recipe (or receipt, if you're Southern!) for this Crab Louis DIP in
the following Charleston Junior League Cookbook
that Cuisine Kathleen showed off last week
I ordered my copy for only 75¢ on Half.com!
Although it called for 8 oz. of crab meat,
I had this pouch on hand that was only 6 oz.
It worked just fine!

Look how healthy it is for you!"Zero Carbs, High Protein & Zero Trans Fat"
All the other ingredients are ones you commonly have on hand.

Thanks, ML, for giving us a wonderful place
to share our food experiences.
fondly,
You are inspiring me to make something from that book! It looks delicious, Rett!
ReplyDeleteYum that looks so delicious! I made a pasta salad once called shrimp louis pasta salad. I think it was somewhat similar ingredients, and it was delicious too. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Rett - what a great post... I love crab, but I don't remember ever trying Crab Louis. I'll have to do something about that soon.

I'm such a seafood addict. I would love this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great receipt! ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try it. It seems the crowd I run with is stuck, self included, with the same ole dips. This would be a great new addition to the repertoire.Thanks, Rett.......Bunny, whose feeling great now.
Looks so yummy, making me hungry. Off to get breakfast. Have a wonderful weekend, Rett.
ReplyDeleteYou got a great deal on that book! Kathleen rubs off on all of us :)
ReplyDeleteI love Junion League cookbooks and have quite a few of them. Your Crab Louis Dip look delicious!
Oh Baby! Does this look wonderful! Love your "Mother quotes" too -- some I had not heard.
