Prawn & Mango Salad

Prawn & Mango Salad

By: Lisa Holmen

Nothing screams summer more than mangos and prawns in Australia. A simple lime dressing in this salad lets the prawns and mango shine. If prepping the salad in advance, drizzle a little lime juice on the avocado to slow the browning process. Citrus fruits naturally contain citric acid, which works against oxygen to slow down the browning process.
