Prepare the salad ingredients: chop the lettuce, dice the vegetables, and slice the eggs.
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, crab meat, chopped eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, celery, and onion.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with extra egg slices if desired.

This salad can be made ahead of time, but it’s best to add the dressing just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
If you prefer a healthier version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
For a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot sauce or add some diced jalapeños.
