Steps:

• Pick out 8 beautiful, similarly sized butter lettuce leaves and arrange on a platter.
• Divide the avocado and cucumber ribbons, placing long ways in the cups.
• Divided the crab among the lettuce cups then tuck the radishes in and around it.
• Top with sliced snap peas, or tuck in any other veggies or additions. Top with a few fresh tarragon or dill leaves. At this point you could wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
• Make the dressing by whisking the ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste, adjust salt and lemon. Serve the dressing on the side or drizzle over top, right before serving. Sometimes I'll place the bowl of dressing in the center of the platter, with the cups arranged around it.
