Dorset crab salad recipe

Crab is one of my wife, Jane's, favourite foods, so she loves it when I create a new dish using this fantastic creature. It's such a versatile ingredient and exciting to see British crab becoming more popular. I have combined more unusual ingredients with the sweet white crab meat in this recipe, but still kept it simple. The result is a very light and refreshing spring salad which is perfect to share.
