Method: 

Combine the egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, and lemon juice in a food processor and process for 2 minutes.
With the processor running, add the oil slowly in a thin stream and process until emulsified.
Remove to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the capers, scallions, and parsley.  Season with salt and white pepper.  Chill for two to four hours.

Just before serving, gently fold in the crabmeat, taking care not to break up the lumps.

Divide the lettuce among 6 serving plates and top with a slice of tomato.  Spoon the crab atop the tomato and serve.
