To Plate
First, remove the stem from the butter lettuce.
Carefully wash the leaves to remove any excess dirt and spin dry.
Dress the leaves with the vinaigrette, making sure to get every part of the leaves.
Arrange the lettuce in four bowls, starting with the large leaves on the bottom and moving to the small leaves to form the shape of a flower.
Using a spoon, sprinkle the diced egg, cornichon and the celery evenly on top of the four salads.
Marinate the crab meat with a little of the vinaigrette and distribute evenly between the four salads.
Drizzle the Louie dressing liberally over each salad.
Place the remaining Louie dressing on the table for those who enjoy a little extra with their salad.
Cut the avocado into four pieces lengthwise and then separate from the pit.
Peel away the skin from each avocado piece and lay them on a cutting board.
Slice each quarter of avocado 3/4 of the way up.
Season with salt and pepper and then fan out on top of each salad before serving.
