Best Ever Crab Salad

  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
  • 75ml lime juice
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 15 mint leaves
  • 2 small ripe green melons, well chilled
  • ½ cucumber
  • 100g watercress
  • 300g cooked crabmeat
  • Make your dressing by grating the ginger into a bowl, and combining it with the lime juice, sugar, olive oil, salt and pepper, and chopped mint leaves.
  • Make the salad by cutting the melon flesh into bite-size chunks, and combining with chopped cucumber. Toss in the dressing in a large salad bowl, and add the watercress. Mix together.
  • Season the crabmeat well, and serve by dividing the dressed salad between your plates, and piling the crab on top. Garnish with a few more mint leaves, and enjoy.
