Ingredients

For the vinaigrette

1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

For the salad:

1/2 sweet potato, peeled
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into thin slices
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 ripe but firm avocado, peeled and cut into thin slices
8 oz crab meat, cooked
Salt and pepper, to taste
Sliced radishes, to decorate
Pomegranate, to decorate
1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds

Directions

1

For the vinaigrette: Combine lemon juice with honey, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic. Add the oils and mayonnaise, whisk until it emulsifies. Transfer to a small dressing bottle and serve with the salad. You can refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
2

For the salad: Use a mandolin slicer or very sharp knife to thinly slice the sweet potato then cut it into very thin strips. Soak in cold water, and change the water 2 or 3 times to remove the starch. Drain and dry with a kitchen towel.
3

Heat up the oil in a frying pan and add the thin strips of sweet potato, stirring them around with a fork for a few minutes, until they change color. Drain excess oil on a paper towel.
4

To shape them into a salad, use a round cookie cutter or round molds.
5

Place a round mold on a plate and star with a layer of spinach leaves. Then a layer of tomatoes, mango, onion, avocado and finally crab meat. Sprinkle each layer with a pinch of salt and pepper. Then decorate each salad stack with a little of the crispy sweet potatoes.
6

Drizzle with the vinaigrette and decorate with radishes, pomegranate and a pinch of poppy seeds. Serve immediately.

You can use a premade vinaigrette.
Use cooked pieces of shrimp instead of crab meat.
