From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis dressing is a salad dressing based on mayonnaise, to which red chili sauce, minced green onions, and minced green chili peppers have been added. It is commonly used as a dressing for salads featuring seafood, such as a crab (Crab Louis, the King of Salads[1][2]) or shrimp (Shrimp Louis).[3][4]
The origin of the dressing is disputed. The Olympic ClubinSeattle, The Davenport HotelinSpokane, Washington, Solari's Restaurant, Bergez-Frank's Old Poodle Dog Restaurant and the St. Francis HotelinSan Francisco, and the Bohemian in Portland all claim to be the home of the dressing, with the invention in either the 1900s or 1910s. In all cases, the original salad was made with Dungeness crab.[3][4][5]
From The American Heritage Cookbook published 1964:
-
1 cup mayonnaise,
-
1/4 cup chili sauce,
-
2 Tbsp finely diced or grated onion,
-
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped fine,
-
A pinch or two of cayenne,
-
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
The first five ingredients are combined and the whipped cream folded in.
