  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves firmly packed - roughly chopped
  • 100 g danish feta crumbled

Dressing

  • juice of 1 fresh lemon to taste

    400 g cooked peeled prawns (shrimp), 1 large mango, 1 large avocado, 250 g cherry tomatoes, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives, 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • For the dressing, combine lemon juice, garlic-infused olive oil and salt & pepper, adjusting as necessary.
    juice of 1 fresh lemon, 2 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil, salt & pepper
  • Toss dressing gently through salad, sprinkle with crumbled feta and serve.
    100 g danish feta

Notes

  • 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 regular olive oil - depending on your taste.
