This perfect avocado prawn and coconut salad recipe proves that all salads aren't boring!
Its a delicious sweet tasting salad. Suitable all year round.
You folks know that every now and then despite the time of year maybe not being appropriate I'll drop in a salad recipe just to add a bit of variety.
And it's been a while since the last king prawn and rocket salad hasn't it?
So, today its the turn of this tasty avocado prawn and coconut salad!
It was my other half that gave me the idea for this avocado prawn and coconut salad.
You see, she frequently travels with her job, staying over in hotels all around the U.K.
I recall her mentioning she'd enjoyed having it somewhere. I duly noted it down in my "menu ideas" OneNote and thought about how I could make it more interesting and healthy.
And not just taste like any old ordinary salad.
That's where I thought I would use a honey dressing which would enhance the flavour and make it more exciting to eat.
Also honey used as a salad dressing helps to break down salad greens and improves digestibility too. Now there's a fact for you!
And talking about facts and health benefits.....

Awesome! I remember you mentioning the West Highland Way hike a while back, and I'm excited to hear that it's coming up so soon. I can't wait to see the photos and hear the stories. In the meantime, though, this salad sounds like a delicious and healthy dish! I love the prawns + avocado combo here. And I totally hear ya about recipe inspiration from our significant other's travels. I have an idea in mind to try this week based on something Laura described after a recent work trip. Fun!

We can't wait for our hike on the West Highland Way David. We're both so looking forward to it, and of course at the end of each day there's a new place to stay at with a new menu to feast upon! Looking forward to seeing what new recipe inspiration Laura has brought you too! ๐

I'm a huge fan of salads (well this might not have been that obvious lately), and this salad is amazing. While the combo of prawn and avocado is very common in our house, I'm so in love with this coconut-lime-honey dressing. Well done!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
I'm glad you like salads too Ben. I'm a big fan of them, Lynne not so much. But when I make new dressings she's always up for trying them and this one she loved!
Mimi
Fabulous! Light and flavorful. I canโt wait to try the dressing!

Thanks Mimi, if you find the dressing too sweet just reduce the honey a little bit. I like honey so that's why I put two tablespoons in the dressing, although some might prefer only one tablespoon.
