Step 5: Place the spring onions in a salad bowl with the mushrooms and chicken and stir gently to mix.
Step 6: To make the mayonnaise, in a bowl mix together the egg yolk, mustard, sugar and wine vinegar or lemon juice until creamy, then gradually beat in the olive oil a little at a time until a thick mayonnaise is formed.
Step 7: Stir in the crème Fraiche and chopped basil and spoon over the salad. Stir gently to mix. Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving.
