Crayfish salad with radishes, apple and poppy seeds
Gill Meller recommends serving crayfish tails with brown bread, butter, chopped fresh dill and lemon juice. Although we think his quick and scrumptious salad with crisp radish, sharp apples and the toothsome crunch of poppy seeds showcases them beautifully.

Method
- Trim and wash the radishes. (If they have their leaves on, you can add them to the salad.) Slice the radishes into thin rounds, roughly 2-3mm thick. Peel, quarter and core the apples, then slice thinly.
- Put the crayfish tails in a large bowl with the radish and apple slices. Squeeze over the lemon juice, spoon over the olive oil and scatter over the mint and most of the dill. Season well with salt and pepper, then gently tumble everything together.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Arrange the salad on 4 plates or a large serving platter. Spoon over the dressing, then scatter over the poppy seeds and the rest of the dill to serve.
