Directions:
To make the Maison dressing, combine vinegar and mustard. Slowly whisk in olive oil, a little at a time, to form an emulsion. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together mayonnaise, Maison dressing, green onions, capers and parsley. Gently fold in the crabmeat, making sure you don't break up any of the lumps -- the key to making this dish truly wonderful). Divide into six equal portions and serve on a bed of butter lettuce, with two slices of tomato and a squeeze from a wedge of lemon just before serving.

Personal Notes:
In most restaurants this dish is called "Crabmeat Ravigote", but Galatoire's -- accustomed to doing things in their own way -- already have a different dish by that name, so they call their ravigote "Crabmeat Maison".
