4 large lettuce leaves

With potato peeler, remove orange zest and slice into threads. Blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water, drain and rinse.

With Sharp paring knife remove all remaining skin from orange and cut down sides of membrane to remove whole segments. Line plate with green leaf lettuce, Mix iceberg lettuce with spinach, and mound on leaves. Lightly toss orange segments with Dungeness crabmeat and arrange on salad greens.

For garnish: Cut egg in half. Place egg cut side down on tomato slice. Top with halved olives and sprinkle with orange threads. Arrange remaining olives, orange segments, green onions, and avocado slices around sides and serve with Orange Louis Dressing on the side. Serves 6 as salad entree.
