Ingredients

Servings
  • 200 g prawns thawed, frozen
  • 4 egg large
  • mayonnaise enough to coat egg
  • 1 iceberg lettuce washed & sliced, small head
  • cherry tomatoes or slices of tomato
  • cucumber or avocado slices
  • 2 carrot grated, small
  • 4 sweetcorn optional, heaped tbsp, tinned

  • For garlic dressing:
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or sherry vinegar

  • black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs in a pan of boiling water for about 12 minutes.
  2. Run under a cold tap to completely cool.
  3. Once cool finely chop the eggs (I pop into my egg slicer and then turn 90º and slice once more)
  4. Place the chopped egg in a small bowl and mix with enough mayonnaise to coat, then place in the fridge.
  5. Add the dressing ingredients to lidded beaker and shake vigorously.
  6. Arrange the lettuce on 4 plates then scatter over the grated carrot and sweetcorn if using.
  7. Add the tomatoes and cucumber.
  8. Divide the egg mayonnaise between the 4 plates placing in the centre
  9. Scatter the prawns over the 4 salads and then pour the dressing over.
  10. Finish off with a dusting of cayenne pepper.
  11. Serve with some crusty bread or a roll.

Notes

  • I thaw my prawn by spreading them out on a plate and pop in a cool oven with just the fan on (usually takes about 20 minutes).
