The tropical touch

I EXPECT everyone is thinking about Christmas right now, what gifts to buy, what food to serve, putting up decorations, choosing the wines and generally having a busy time. I'm so organised this year, I already know what I'm having for an entrée on Christmas Day! 

​Bert and I love this tropical salad.  If you don’t like prawns, you can always make this with smoked salmon.

PRAWN, MANGO & AVOCADO SALAD (serves 4)
 
Ingredients
400 grams of cooked prawns or smoked salmon
2 mangoes cut into 2cm cubes
2 avocados cut into 2cm cubes
2 limes plus lime wedges to serve
1/3 cup coriander leaves finely chopped
1 long red chilli seeds removed, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of avocado oil or virgin olive oil
1 lettuce, leaves separated
 
Method
  1. Peel, devein and roughly chop half of the prawns, place in a bowl with the mango and avocado
  2. Grate the zest of half a lime, juice both limes
  3. Place the lime zest and juice in a small bowl with the coriander, chilli, honey and oil,
  4. Whisk to combine and season well.
  5. Pour over the prawn mixture and toss to combine
  6. Divide lettuce among plates, fill with the salad, and serve with the remaining prawns and lime wedges.

Enjoy!
