Method

  • step 1

    Peel the prawns, leaving the tails intact, then rinse and pat dry. Put all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk to mix.

  • step 2

    Up to 1 hr before serving, peel and stone the avocados, then cut into thick slices and put in a large bowl with half the dressing. Mix lightly to coat all the slices (this prevents them turning brown). Chop the basil and add to the bowl along with the prawns. Toss everything together lightly. Scatter the leaves over a platter, then spoon the prawns, avocado and basil mix over. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

I made this as a healthy keto lunch. It’s really tasty and filling. The dressing is gorgeous.

I made this for the 4th time this week, as a starter for a supper party with friends. It is always wonderful & no cooking involved makes it so easy. One of my friends is going to make this now for some other friends. Brilliant combination of flavours, the chilli & the lime & honey all…

Lovely, easy, tasty, good for a dinner party starter or summer lunch. I use large tail-on prawns as they're not quite so messy to eat. Really does go well with the chickpea and roasted pepper salad.

I have made this on many occasions and it never lets me down. Beautiful and summery but I will perhaps use it Christmas Eve.
