So, continuing with the salad theme, here we have a really fresh prawn salad. It’s really one of those things that can be done start to finish under 25 minutes and tastes really good. And, if you’re a real health nut, it’s a double bonus! I was browsing through a lot of prawn salads and a few pictures that caught my eye were Greek style prawn salads. They looked really colourful and I figured they really wouldn’t need much time to do. As with all Greek salads, this one also features lettuce, olives and some of the other favourite Mediterranean ingredients. The problem really only arose for feta cheese, because I didn’t have any, so I guess this really isn’t an actual Greek salad, because no Greek salad is complete without the feta! So, realising that I anyways wouldn’t be able to make an authentic salad, I decided to go for something different for the dressing rather than the traditional vinaigrette. Prawns, mustard and honey already make a great combination, so, I just took those ingredients and made a yoghurt dressing featuring the two: honey and Dijon mustard. I actually did the entire recipe by eye, and I only realised this 15 minutes after the dish was done, so I wasn't able to give the exact measurements, but this dish is easy to estimate, being savoury. The only thing I wish I could have changed was the size of the prawns by getting bigger prawns. They're literally hidden in all the other vegetables! But overall, its a winner!
