Preparation

1. Break or cut the seafood into chunks and put in a bowl. Gently toss with the cucumber, tomatoes and scallions.
2. Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, a tablespoon of lime juice, the ginger, onion, cumin, mint and coriander together. Reserve a tablespoon of this mixture and fold the rest into the seafood mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Beat the reserved dressing with the remaining lime juice, the olive oil and the mustard. Toss the spinach or arugula with this dressing.
4. Put a bed of the spinach or arugula salad on each of four plates. Divide the seafood mixture among the four plates, garnish with mint sprigs and serve, with Indian mango chutney like Major Grey’s, if desired, on the side.
