This salad reflects the simplicity of pre-historic cooking. Ingredients are fresh, seasonal and often gathered locally.
You can buy goats cheese, use cream cheese or you could try making your own ( see our simple cheese recipe).
The creamy cheese is delicious with the crab, a suprisingly lovely combination.
