Crab Louie Salad Recipe



photographs of all my recipes











When we lived in Oregon we had the most fun taking our boat and camper to the coast and crabbing at Nehalem Bay, we usually always got our limit or at least enough for a big feed, we would take the Dungeness crab back to our campsite, boil them in a pot of sea water then crack them open.  I always brought my bread machine along for fresh French bread, two of our grandsons, Rick and Rolly, could each eat a whole loaf!  My daughter in law Laurie always made the most wonderful dressing...  we'd open a chilled bottle of Chardonnay and enjoy a delicious meal
