A big, juicy Prawn Mango Avocado Summer Salad!! A fresh lime dressing is all you need to make this delicious summer salad.
It’s a quick and easy meal that you can make or a summer salad that will please a large crowd. This is also how I stretch prawns (shrimps) even further!
I am a fussy eater when it comes fruit in my meals. I’ve never been a fan of pork and apple. I don’t like fruity sauces on roasts, except if they are more tart or savoury than sweet.
But what about mangoes with shrimps? It’s a match made for heaven. It’s like tomato and Basil. They’re meant to be!
