Notes
- Prawns/shrimps- Boiled, grilled, or fried. I have used medium-sized tiger prawns to make this summer salad. Use any variety or any size of shrimps you like. If you like you can chop them as well.
- For the best texture use ripe mangoes that are firm.
- Substitute lime with lemon, if lime is not available.
- Adjust chili as per your tolerance.
- Serving: It tastes great as a light lunch or as a side salad. It could also be served over some lettuce or salad greens.
- It tastes best when freshly made. However, it can be made a few hours ahead. Just store mango cubes, cooked prawns, and dressing separately. When ready to serve, add freshly sliced onions and toss everything together to combine.
