honey and garlic prawn salad
I know, I know. It’s not only a recipe without a potato, but it’s also a salad. WHO IS SHE?! Between a potato brekky and a potato dinner, I like to get all my fruit and veg in over lunch. And I’m not kidding when I say all my 5-a-day. This salad has it all going on and it’s seriously tasty.
This dish is colourful, stuffed full of veggie goodness and I even threw in a few cheeky prawns because why not? I love a good prawn and always try to get a bag of frozen prawns in my freezer for easy meals like this. Plus, it’s cheaper innit. I’m always here for a bargain.
Now the real beauty of this dish is that it is super healthy without feeling mega healthy, if you get what I’m saying. With all the flavours going on, you don’t feel like you’re eating a bland salad. There is literally nothing worse than a limp, sad lunch. So get this made and feel real good about yourself.

I can’t promise this link will take you to lots of salads, but it will take you to some delicious lunch recipes that sound far more appealing than a terrible tuna mayo sandwich or tin of soup.
If you’re not a prawn lover, simply substitute for chicken, ham or even a cheese of your choice.
