Looking forward to making your Crab Louie with homemade dressing it doesn’t specify what type of relish Sweet or Dill?
Thanks so much
Hi Laureen. I recommend using dill relish. I hope you love the dressing!
This pretty much how I make my Crab Louies except that I prefer Dungenous Crab and I add some slices of pickled Beets. I also use pickled Asperigus. Delicious with garlic French Bread too.
That sounds delicious! I love all the additional ingredients you use! Thanks for leaving your tips!
