Crab meat and blood oranges work in perfect harmony in this salad recipe from Skye Gyngell. The sweet flavours are offset by the bitter leaves and fennel, and everything is brought together by a creamy verjus dressing.

To make the dressing, place the mustard, verjus and honey in a bowl. Mix together lightly, then add the crème fraîche and stir to combine. Finish with a few drops of lemon juice and some salt to bring it all together, then set aside
To assemble the salad, place the bitter leaves in a bowl and season with a little salt, then half of the lemon juice, lemon zest and extra virgin olive oil. Use your fingers to toss the leaves until thoroughly coated. Add the fennel and toss again
Place the crab in a separate bowl and dress with the remaining oil, lemon juice and zest with a pinch of salt. Place some of the verjus dressing on each plate and layer the salad on top, alternating the leaves, crab and blood oranges. Add a little verjus dressing to each layer. Scatter over the chervil and serve
