How to make a healthy prawn and avocado salad
Mmmm this recipe is just a delicious burst of summer on a plate. Our Prawn & Avocado Salad is super quick to make. We use fresh salad greens and whip up a healthy salad dressing using natural yogurt instead of calorific mayonnaise.
Just toss some salad greens onto the plates – we buy the bags of ready washed salad for speed. Add on some sliced avocado and top with the citrus yogurt dressed prawns. I finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and good squeeze of lime juice and a handful of chopped coriander and that’s it!
Super simple and super tasty!
