Want a really quick salad recipe? Then look no further than my Cromer Crab Salad...

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: sliced cucumber

Mashed peas provide creaminess with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Start by making the dressing: add some mustard into a bowl.

Add a touch of honey and a wedge of lemon to the bowl.

Pour in some olive oil and mix until you achieve a nice consistency in the dressing.

Prepare the salad ingredients: take little gem lettuce and spinach.

Half and quarter the cherry tomatoes.

Lightly cook the asparagus for a few minutes until it has a bit of bite, then drain and let it cool down.

Roughly chop the asparagus once cooled.

In a large bowl, add the lettuce, tomatoes, and asparagus.

Scoop out the crab meat from the shells, using both white and brown crab meat.

Gently mix the ingredients in the bowl with a couple of spoons, being careful not to break the crab meat too much.

Add the dressing to the salad, ensuring it's a light coating without flooding the ingredients.

Serve the salad with some lovely granary bread, buttered.
