  3. Cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges.
  4. Place the sliced salad leaves into the serving glasses.
  5. Combine the peeled prawns with a few tablespoons of the dressing and season to taste. Add on top of the leaves.
  6. Top with the remaining sauce, a pinch of cayenne, a sprinkle with mustard cress, and a lemon wedge. Sit a cooked prawn on the side of the glass.

Pan fried salmon with maltaise mayo

  2. Mix some of the mayo with the blood orange juice.
  3. Slice the other orange and season.
  4. To serve, pop the salmon onto the centre of the plate, spoon around the mayo and place the sliced orange on the side.

Blue cheese salad

  1. For the dressing, whisk the mayo, crème fraiche and ½ the blue cheese together with a splash of water and Henderson’s relish.
  2. To serve, shred the lettuce and top with mixed chicory leaves, candied pecans and croutons. Drizzle over the dressing and crumble over the rest of the cheese.
