Ingredients

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound cooked Dungeness crabmeat
1 head Bibb lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1 cup sliced English cucumber
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set it aside. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook in boiling water until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove asparagus and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to cool. Drain and pat dry asparagus well; set aside.
Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, ketchup, relish, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to make dressing.
Combine crabmeat, lettuce, cucumber, and celery in a large bowl. Pour dressing over crabmeat mixture; toss to coat well.
Pile salad evenly onto 4 serving plates; add equal portions of asparagus, avocado, tomatoes, and hard-boiled eggs. Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge.
