Ingredients
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lime zest and juice
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ½ tsp dried chilli flakes
For the salad
- 250 g (scant 9 oz) pouch of precooked rice I used brown basmati and wild rice
- 250 g (scant 9 oz) cooked prawns or see notes
- 130 g ( 1 cup) baby peas frozen
- 130 g ( 1 cup) edamame beans frozen
- 1 avocado sliced
- 5 radishes sliced into thin rounds
- 5 spring onions sliced
- ½ red onion sliced into thin rounds
- 2 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl. Add a little honey for a touch of sweetness if you like.
- Heat the rice according to pack instructions. Cook the peas and edamame beans in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or bring to a boil in water, cook until tender then drain.
- Empty the rice into a bowl and fluff up with a fork. Add all the remaining ingredients and the dressing and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper then serve!

Notes
- If you are using fresh prawns (or frozen and thawed) then you will need to pan fry them in a little oil until they turn pink and their flesh is opaque. This will only take a few minutes.
