like cait i've been living on salads. the roast chicken and apple one was a healthy take on a waldorf salad and AMAZING.
Last night i made this and it was great as well. i made it with mango. it was SO good and light!
melon and prawn salad
1 medium Galia Melon, 1 small, de-seeded and quartered, or honeydew
200 g peeled tiger prawns, (7oz) shelled, thawed if frozen
2 medium onion(s), sliced thinly
1 portion fresh green or red chilli(s), fresh, red, deseeded and sliced thinly
2 tablespoon Thai fish sauce, or light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon caster sugar
1 juice from 1/2 lime(s)
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground, black
4 small leaf lettuce, dark green, to serve
1 teaspoon fresh coriander, a few sprigs, chopped roughly
Instructions
Slice the skin off the melon and cut the flesh into half moon slices.
Pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper and season with pepper.
Mix the onions, chilli, fish sauce or soy sauce, sugar and lime juice together by shaking them in a jar. Pour over the prawns and mix well. Leave to marinate in the fridge for about half an hour or so.
When ready to serve, toss in the melon slices and serve on small plates on which you have laid some dark green salad leaves. Scatter over the herb sprigs and eat quickly!
