1 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 cup good olive oil

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons minced shallots
Juice of 2 Meyer lemons, plus extra if desired
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 large Granny Smith apple
1 large celery root, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch matchsticks

12 ounces blue crab meat
2 tablespoons chives, in 1-inch lengths
2 tablespoons roughly chopped celery leaves
1/4 cup roughly chopped parsley
1 large ripe avocado

Divide the avocado among six plates. Divide the celery root mixture among plates, placing it on top of the avocado but allowing some of the avocado to show at one side. In a small bowl, combine the remaining crab meat, parsley and celery leaves. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the dressing, and toss to combine; reserve the remaining dressing for another use.
