MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE
Inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad, this salad stars ripe, juicy mangoes and dresses them in the classic punchy lime-fish sauce dressing. Tender torn greens, crunchy sweet snap peas and creamy avocado round out this dish with both crispy and creamy bites. The cooling salad is the perfect side to accompany grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or steak. If mangoes are unavailable, tomatoes or sweet stone fruit like peaches are tasty options.

MANGO AVOCADO SHRIMP SALAD
From myrecipes.com, originally from Sunset magazine. Peaches (fresh or good canned) make a fine substitute if good, ripe mangoes (or canned mangoes) can't be found. The shrimp I've found that were the right size were Canadian shrimp; the fish counter at my supermarket had them available frozen upon request.

ABBY'S GRILLED PRAWN MANGO AVOCADO SALAD
This salad is visually a beautiful dish. Each bite bursts a different texture.... sweet from the mango and dried blueberries, crunch from the salad, tomatoes and nuts or smooth from the avocado. I served this to a friend for a luncheon and I was so impressed that I served it again to my DD that night. She said that it has become one of her top 10 favorite salads. Unless you like your salads swimming in dressing, this dressing is so flavourful that you don't need alot to go around. I served this with my recipe #269324 and Mirj's Recipe #24593

- Prawns: Place 6 prawns on the wooden bamboo stick. Remove about 2 T of the salad dressing to a small bowl, and brush on both sides of the prawns. Place on the grill and grill for 3-1/2 - 4 minutes. Turn the prawns over and brush with any remaining dressing. Grill until cooked, about 3-1/2 - 4 minutes more. Remove from grill when just slightly pink. Cut into one prawn to check if cooked. You have overcooked when the prawns when it becomes bright pink.

Tips:

- If you don't have a grill pan, you can cook the prawns in a skillet over medium heat until they are pink and opaque.
- To save time, you can buy pre-cooked prawns.
- If you want a spicier salad, add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- If you want your salad to have a creamy texture, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the dressing.
