1
In a large stainless steel bowl, combine crab, apple, celery, cucumber, shallot, fennel, and fennel fronds.

Place the curry powder, egg yolk, and lemon juice in a small stainless steel bowl.
5
Slowly whisk in oil until ingredients thicken and a creamy consistency is formed.
6
If the consistency is too thick, slowly add small amounts of cold water until the mixture resembles a spreadable mayonnaise.

Season with salt and pepper.
8
