Grilled Prawns and Corn Salad

This vibrant grilled prawn and corn salad is a refreshing dairy-free option that brings a taste of summer to your table. The prawns are marinated in a zesty blend of lime and tequila before being charred to perfection alongside sweet corn on the cob. The combination of smoky, grilled flavours with the crunch of romaine lettuce and creamy avocado creates a balanced and satisfying dish that feels both light and indulgence.

Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a sophisticated weekend lunch, this colourful salad is packed with protein and heart-healthy fats from the black beans and avocado. It is naturally gluten-free if served with corn tortilla crisps, making it a versatile choice for entertaining guests with various dietary requirements. Serve it immediately while the prawns are still warm for the best results.
