Method
- Put the kohlrabi, fennel and apple slices together with the crab meat and parsley in a large bowl with the olive oil and some seasoning. Gently toss together with your fingers, then cover and set aside.
- For the dressing, put the egg yolk, honey, Dijon mustard and cider vinegar in a blender or small food processor and season very lightly. With the motor running, very slowly drizzle the olive oil through the funnel, then briefly mix in the double cream.
- Divide the salad between serving plates, drizzle over the dressing and serve immediately with extra finely chopped parsley to garnish.
