Prawn Salad with Avocado and Mango
I made this healthy and refreshing fruit salad on Christmas Eve. This is so easy to make that preparation only takes you about 20 minutes. You can prepare all the ingredients and chill for one hour before serving then combine everything together with yoghurt. You don’t have to wait until Christmas to make this as this is also great for any occasion.
Recipe adapted from Xin Flavours 新之味 with slight modification
Here is the recipe (serves 6)
3 ripe Avocados
1 Mango
100g Prawns ~ remove shells and vine, season with some salt and pepper and put prawns in boiling water till cooked, dish and put in ice water for a few minutes, drained. Use whole prawn or cut prawn into cubes
**substitute prawns with crab meat or lobster if you prefer
Dressing
100g Low fat mango yoghurt
2 tsp Lemon juice
some sea salt and pepper
Method:
- Combine all Dressing ingredients and set aside.
- Scoop out avocado flesh and reserve the skins to be used later as salad bowls.
- Diced avocado and mango. Add cooked prawns and mix well, then lastly add in dressing and toss well.
- Serve in avocado bowls or if you’re lazy, just serve all into a pretty serving bowl.
kitchen note: To prevent avocado turns brown quickly, squeeze lemon juice over the exposed flesh and cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator before mixing with mango and prawns.
Enjoy!
Looks so nice and refreshing. 🙂

Mango, prawns & Avo are great combo! I make this salad a lot too. I like to drizzle with chilli and lime dressing.

Like no fruit salad I've ever seen. So fresh and I love the shrimp and avocado. Must be a lovely contrast in textures from the creamy avocado, tender shrimp, and juicy fruit. Happy New Year!
Simple & healthy! Happy New Year, Ann & a toast to a healthier lifestyle!
This is cool and delicious…just right for the hot summer days in Melbourne. I love the combination 😀
