Hi guys, here is a quick, healthy and delicious cold salad for your enjoyment 😀 It is the combination of juicy and sweet mango, creamy avocado pear, crunchy juicy cucumber, tangy tasty of lemon, Onion and wild rockets for that essential kicks and Prawns- flavourful, natural nectar from the gods that makes this Tartare a winner.

It is great as first course. Have it as a meal by all means if you are on a diet. The ingredient serves about three to four people or a small family. Add more if you are catering or having friends over for a meal.

Serves 3.

Direction:

Chop the mango, onion, cucumber, avocado pear ( squeeze some lemon juice on the pear while chopping to keeps it green n not sticky) into fine cubes.

Cover up and keep in the fridge to chill till ready for use. Can be left in a bowl and placed on the table buffet style, set aside another bowl of wild rockets on the side to serve

I used a cookie cutter to shape mine nicely and served it on a bed of wild rockets.. If you have enough prawns, you can top with one each. It’s so easy, straight forward yet yummy and super healthy.
