  • fresh herbs – e.g. coriander, mint, parsley, chives – finely chopped

Method

  1. Mix all the cooked seafood together in a large glass bowl.
  2. Make the dressing by mixing all the dressing ingredients together and whisk to combine. Pour dressing over seafood and keep covered in the fridge.
  3. Peel the courgette & carrot and grate coarsely. Mix well in a bowl and season with salt & pepper and squeeze a little lemon juice over.
