Prawns, avocado and mango salad
This salad might be considered kitsch, but as a Queenslander born in the 70's, I love this combo in more than just an iconic way. It is a simple summer no-cook favourite of mine that is a perfect balance of healthy fats (avocados), protein (prawns) and carbs (mango). The lemon juice and lime essential oil really do make the flavours pop. It’s always a hit with kids too!
Ingredients
12 large cooked prawns, peeled and deveined
1 avocado
1 mango
Juice of 1 lemon (approx. 3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon olive oil infused with 2 drops of Young Living lime essential oil
a handful of roughly chopped fresh coriander
salt and cracked pepper to taste
a few slices of fresh chilli sliced on the diagonal (optional)
Directions
Place prawns into a large salad bowl.
Cut avocado in half, remove seed and score each half into squares with a knife, then scoop out the flesh with a dessert spoon into the bowl with the prawns.
Chop the flesh of the mango into squares in a similar fashion as the avocado and add to the bowl.
Add in the coriander.
Drizzle the lemon juice and the lime-infused olive oil over the salad.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Gently mix to combine.
Serve in the salad bowl or transfer to a serving platter of choice.
Garnish with fresh chilli (if desired).
Serves 4 as a side or entrée, or 2 as a main
