The beauty of this prawn and walnut salad is that you can mix and match the ingredients as per your liking. For instance, if you do not like apple, you can try adding some cubed mango or peach to the salad. If you don’t have walnuts at hand, consider swapping them with some toasted pine nuts or pecans.

The prawns used in this recipe can either be cooked or grilled. Grilling the prawns can add a whole lot of lovely smoky flavors to the dish. To grill, simply toss some olive oil over the prawns and season with some salt and black pepper. Skewer the prawns and cook over a hot grill until fully cooked.

Another option to consider when making this salad is to experiment with different dressings. If lemon and olive oil dressing do not work for you, consider using balsamic vinaigrette or some honey mustard dressing. Both dressings complement the sweetness of the prawns, apple, and nutty flavors of the walnuts.

In conclusion, making prawn and walnut salad is pretty simple and straightforward. This recipe is perfect for when you want a quick and healthy meal that does not compromise on taste. You can serve the salad as it is or accompany it with some crusty bread or some cooked grains like barley or quinoa for a more filling dish. This dish is perfect for those hot summer days, or when you want to enjoy a light meal that is packed with flavor and nutrition.
