This vibrant prawn, mango, and jicama salad is a refreshing dairy-free dish that brings a taste of the tropics to your table. The combination of succulent prawns and sweet, sun-ripened mango offers a beautiful contrast in texture, while the jicama provides a satisfying, watery crunch. Dressed in a bright pineapple and lime vinaigrette, the flavour is balanced by the subtle sharpness of red onion and the citrusy notes of fresh coriander.

Ideal as a sophisticated starter or a nutritious light lunch, this heart-healthy seafood recipe is as simple to prepare as it is colourful. Since the prawns are poached and chilled in advance, it is an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining.
