| 1/8 teaspoon | fresh cracked white pepper |
| 1 | turnip, the size of a baseball, peeled and julienned |
| 1 | small bunch radishes, about 6, julienned |
| 1/4 cup | mayonnaise |

PREPARATION:
Lump Crabmeat Slaw:
- In a small bowl, combine the shallots, chives, mustard, tarragon, chervil, parsley, capers, cornichon, vinegar and grapeseed oil. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate, medium size mixing bowl toss 1/4 cup vinaigrette with the turnips and radishes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice and cayenne pepper; add 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette and mix well. Add the crabmeat and toss to coat. To assemble the salad, place a 4-inch round cookie cutter or plastic mold in the center of a chilled plate. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the turnip slaw into the mold and gently press down. Spoon the crabmeat on top of the slaw, trying to keep the crabmeat as whole as possible; be gentle. Drizzle the chive oil around the plate and garnish the crabmeat with chive blossoms.
Chive Oil:
- Rinse the chives in hot water just to wilt them. Place the chives in a blender with the oil and puree. Strain the chives through a sieve lined with cheesecloth.
