It's impossible not to fall in love with this salad for the combination of flavors and textures offered by tender pieces of avocado and crab meat, crispy and juicy green beans and lettuce, croutons, and tomatoes. Everything is drizzled with a stunning yogurt dressing that pairs equally harmoniously with both the vegetables and the crab. And the anchovy fillets enhance the salad's flavor, brightening it up.
