Method

1. Start off by preparing the onions. Peel the onion and cut it in half. Place it in a bowl and add all the marinade ingredients. Mix gently so that everything is incorporated. Seal the bowl with cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour. The ideal time for them to be fully marinated is 2 hours. After that they can be kept and consumed for up to three days.

2. Cut off the ends of the French beans and snap them in half. Heat a small frying pan with a drop of olive oil. Sautee the beans for 3-4 minutes and set aside.

3. Prepare the dressing by mixing all ingredients in a bowl.

4. Wash the lettuce and chop in large pieces. Place in a large salad bowl and mix well with the baby spinach leaves and the French beans.

5. Add the crab and as much of the marinated onions as you wish. Drizzle with the dressing.

6. Mix well and enjoy!
