Notes

Tips for a perfect Seafood and Mango Salad:

You can use pre-cooked prawns to save time, or quickly pan-fry raw ones until pink and firm.

For a bit of spice, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of chilli flakes to the dressing.

Want extra crunch? Scatter some chopped celery or toasted sunflower seeds over the top.
