TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this zesty avocado and prawn salad.

  • Use Fresh Prawns: If using frozen prawns, thaw them properly and pat dry before adding.
  • Prevent Browning: Coat avocado in lime juice immediately to maintain its fresh colour.
  • Enhance The Crunch: Add a handful of shredded lettuce or baby spinach.
  • Customise The Spice Level: Add red pepper flakes or finely chopped chilli for extra heat.
  • Make It Creamy: Mix in a spoonful of Greek yoghurt for a richer dressing.
  • Serve Chilled: Keep the salad in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving for extra freshness.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Nuts: Sprinkle with toasted almonds or cashews for added crunch.
  • Boost The Protein: Include grilled chicken or boiled eggs for a heartier dish.
  • Use A Different Dressing: Swap lime juice for balsamic or sesame dressing.
  • Add Sweetness: Toss in diced mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Make It Dairy-Free: Omit the cheese or replace it with avocado-based dressing.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
  • Keep Ingredients Separate: If making ahead, store prawns, avocado and dressing separately to prevent sogginess.
  • Avoid Freezing: The texture of avocado and prawns changes when frozen.
  • Revive Leftovers: If stored overnight, add fresh lime juice before serving to refresh the flavours.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Prep ingredients in advance but combine just before serving.
