Prawn Mango Salad with Avocado - packed with fresh ingredients like prawns (shrimp), avocado, mango and feta, dressed with lemon and garlic - this is no ordinary salad!

This recipe ticks my top 3 food boxes...simple, fast, and tastes amazing! This is my prawn mango salad with avocado, a flavour combination that's like a fresh Australian summer feast all in one bowl!chopped prawns avocado tomatoes and mango in a white bowl

It's so easy to prepare, it's mainly just chopping and boiling water, which makes it a real mid-week winner too. My kind of food! 

Plus, it's a substantial salad - more of what I like to call a "dinner salad" - I'm not really a bowl-of-lettuce-leaves-for-dinner-just-because-it's-healthy kind of girl. There, I said it. And I bet I'm not the only one!

Ingredients for this prawn mango salad

  • cooked prawns (shrimp)
  • mango
  • avocado
  • risoni/orzo
  • cherry tomatoes
  • fresh chives
  • fresh parsley
  • feta
  • fresh lemon juice
  • garlic-infused olive oil (see my top tips)
  • salt & pepper

*please see the recipe card below for exact quantities and detailed instructions

How to make prawn mango salad

  1. Add cooked risoni/orzo to a large bowl.
  2. Then add chopped prawns/shrimp, mango, avocado, cherry tomatoes, chives and parsley.process shots showing how to make prawn mango salad
  3. Add dressing ingredients to the same bowl - garlic infused oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  4. Mix gently to combine everything. Check for seasoning, top with feta and serve.process shots showing how to make shrimp mango avocado salad

My top tips for making this salad

  • This is a great way to stretch your prawn/shrimp budget further. By chopping the prawns into smaller pieces they go further in the salad. I'm one of those people that like to have a little bit of everything in each mouthful (or at least the option!) and chopping the prawns makes that easy.
  • Garlic-infused olive oil - this is available in supermarkets, alongside all of the other oils. My suggestion would be to taste test it first as they can vary in strength. You may want to tone down the garlic flavour using plain olive oil - depending on your taste.
