The Method

1
Scrub the Jersey Royal potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool slightly.
2
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the asparagus. Snap off the woody ends and steam or blanch the asparagus for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Refresh in cold water and drain well. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
3
While the potatoes and asparagus are cooking, prepare the apple cider vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Jersey milk, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
5
Add the asparagus, radishes, spring onions, mint, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
6
Gently fold in the Jersey crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much.
7
Pour the apple cider vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
8
Serve the salad immediately or chill for later. Drizzle with the melted Jersey butter just before serving for added richness.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavour, add a tablespoon of Jersey cream to the vinaigrette.

Feel free to add other seasonal vegetables to the salad, such as broad beans or peas.

If you can't find Jersey crab, use any good quality fresh crab meat.

If you prefer a less tangy vinaigrette, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or parsley before serving.
