Oven time

Make the crab mix

  • Trim and coarsely grate or very finely chop the fennel and apple. Halve the lime. Roughly chop the dill

Prep the sauce verte & build the salad

  • Thinly slice the gherkins and avocados
  • In the other large bowl, mix together the gherkins, juice from the remaining lime, the remaining honey and 2 tsp olive oil
  • Add the radish and avocado, toss to coat, then gently mix in the salad leaves and season to taste with salt and pepper
