Make the pistou - add all of the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until blended. Divide pistou in half; reserve half for dressing and balance for ice. Line a rimmed half-sheet pan with plastic wrap. Spread half of the basil pistou evenly onto the plastic wrap and
freeze. When ready to serve, break into various-sized pieces and keep frozen until ready to serve.
Arrange the fruit, spring onions, cucumber, and lettuce on a platter. Drizzle with reserved pistou. Finish with shards of pistou ice and flakey sea salt.
