An Old School NOLA classic, based on a traditional French recipe. Emulsified hard boiled eggs give the body to this herbaceous version of a cold crab salad. Simply served with crostini or crudité as dip or even over poached salmon for an elegant Summertime entrée. The combination of herbs is up to you and what is available at the market, or in your herb garden if you are lucky enough to have one!
