- Boil the asparagus and beans in salted water for 2 mins, drain well, then cool quickly under cold running water. Slip the outer skins from the beans.
- For the salad cream, put the egg into a pan of boiling water, then boil for 5 mins. Cool quickly under running water, then peel. Cut the egg carefully in half, then scoop the yolk into a bowl. Whisk in the mustard, sugar, lemon juice and seasoning. Whisk in the oil and cream.
- Arrange the watercress, asparagus and beans over two plates. Pile the crab in the centre, then drizzle with the dressing.
TIP
Young asparagus can also be shaved into ribbons using a swivel blade peeler and eaten raw with a lemony salad dressing.
