Prawn, Avocado and Grapefruit Salad

FeaturedLeave a comment

It’s Valentine’s today, and if you want to make something a little lighter and healthier for your special person this salad is perfect. It’s also quick and easy. I prefer to use pink grapefruit as its less sharp than regular ones.

I have shown the quantities for 2 people. It makes a great lunch dish served with wheaten bread, or reduce the quantities for a refreshing starter.

Serves 2

Ingredients

2-3 Handfuls of rocket or mixed salad leaves

1 Pink Grapefruit (cut into segments), and juice set to one side)

1 Avocado (sliced or cubed)

250 Grams Frozen prawns (thawed)

2 Spring onions/scallions (finely sliced)

1 Tbsp Olive or rapeseed oil

Method

  • Add the salad leaves to a large bowl and drizzle with oil and the remaining grapefruit juice and mix well
  • Divide the salad leaves between 2 plates
  • Scatter the rest of the ingredients across the ingredients and enjoy.

Pineapple Salsa

It’s barbeque season and although I do love meat, the side dishes can take your barbeque to a whole other level.

I first had this years ago in a restaurant with barbecued pork and I fell in love. It’s one of those Summery side dishes that goes with pretty much every thing. I use it in wraps, in salad and rice bowls and could eat a bowl of it on its own.

I use fresh pineapple in this recipe, but if you can’t find it, canned pineapple will also work. This takes 5 minutes to make, but I like to leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the acid in the pineapple to help soften the raw onion flavour which works well. You can leave the out or increase the chilli depending on your taste.

Ingredients

500 Grams Pineapple (cut into 2cm chunks)

1/2 Red pepper (cut into 2 cm chunks)

1 Red chilli pepper (seeds removed and finely sliced)

1/4 Red onion, or 2-3 scallions/spring onions (finely sliced)

2 Tbsp Coriander (mint also works well)

Juice of 1/2 Lime

Method

  1. In a bowl combine all the ingredients and stir well. Chill for 30 mins before serving.
  2. This will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days
