Ingredients

Prawns (500g, peeled and deveined)
Avocado (1 large, peeled, pitted, and diced)
Cherry tomatoes (200g, halved)
Cucumber (1 medium, chopped)
Red onion (1 small, thinly sliced)
Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Fresh cilantro (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a large salad bowl, combine the prawns, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.
To prepare the dressing, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, finely chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. The result is a tangy, zesty dressing that will elevate the salad.
Drizzle the dressing over the prawn and vegetable mixture. Toss the salad gently to ensure every ingredient is evenly coated with the dressing.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the salad's overall taste.
Serve the salad chilled. Garnish with a fresh cilantro sprig on top for an added touch of freshness. Enjoy your delicious journey into Mediterranean cuisine!
