This recipe appeared in the July 2015 issue of bbcgoodfood magazine. I made it for a party and it was a huge hit. It’s colourful and flavourful, and very easy to make. There’s a lot of impact for such an easy recipe. I highly recommend this for a party (double the recipe if needed for larger groups), or for a simple, summery family meal.

Total Time

Salad
- 300g/11oz cooked king prawns
- 250g tub prepared mango, cut into smaller pieces if very large
- 200g/7oz frozen soya beans, defrosted
- 1/2 small white cabbage, finely sliced
- 1 red pepper, finely sliced
- 2 large carrots, cut into thin strips
- 100g/4oz salted peanuts, roughly chopped
- handful each mint and Thai basil or coriander, chopped
Dressing
- zest and juice of 2 large limes
- 3 tbsp mango chutney
- 1 red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
Instructions
- First, make the dressing. Measure the ingredients into a large bowl, season and whisk until smooth.
- Add the salad ingredients to the bowl and toss everything together until well coated in the dressing. Serve straight away.
Notes
- I put the nuts on the side as I can't eat them. A nice alternative to nuts is dried, roasted edamame/soya beans, crushed or roughly chopped.
