Directions

Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
Puree the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, basil, and anchovies in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Toss the crabmeat, shrimp, half of the avocado, and about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt dressing in a small bowl. Toss the romaine, mixed greens, croutons, radishes, green beans, and the remaining avocado with the remaining dressing in a large bowl.
Divide the romaine salad among plates, top with the tomatoes and place some of the seafood mixture in the center.
