Inspiration and top tips
- Crab can be expensive, but this salad is so gorgeous you will want it frequently and you can use leftover cooked fish, chicken or lamb instead (super yummy when re-fried to crispiness)
- Depending on your taste you can add more lime juice, oil, pepper or a few chilli flakes for the intrepid
- If you have a spiralizer in your kitchen, have fun using that to prepare the cucumber
