Sunday Sweeties Recipe Linky #27 – Summertime

Summer foods are so much more appealing to me. Light, fresh salads and Summer fruit. Yum.
After a big day at the Wiggles’ Concert, we picked up some fresh prawns from our local seafood shop.
Here’s what we had for dinner.

Serves 2

Approx. 300g fresh cooked and peeled prawns
1/2 lemon juiced
Ground black pepper

Salsa:
1 Mango (I just used the cheeks and gave the seed to hubby)
1 Lebanese cucumber, de-seeded and cubed
1 red onion, diced
1 small avocado, diced
1 handful of coriander (stems and all) roughly chopped
1 tsp fresh ginger (finely grated)
3 tbs sweet chilli sauce
1/2 lemon juiced
salt and pepper
2 handfuls of mixed lettuce leaves to serve

Squeeze half a lemon’s juice over the prawns and crack some pepper over them. Set aside while you make the salsa.
Combine the salsa ingredients.
Mix through the prawns and lettuce.
Serve.

There you have it. A healthy, filling Summer salad that tastes fabulous.

    I’m late to the party Kaz, but I hope you don’t mind that I’ve joined in – I just found this linky via your comment on One Mother Hen’s watermelon salad post.

    I love prawns and mangos together – they’re the epitome of summer – right? I’m pinning this one now to try this summer!
