Notes
You can marinate the prawns in advance to let the flavor seep in. It can be for 30 minutes or more.
Cut the avocado when all the ingredients are ready. Some avocados will go brown after you cut them so don't leave the cut avocado sitting around for too long.
You can use any type of lettuce leaves you want. You can also coarsely chopped the lettuce to make a nice bed for the salad.
This recipe is best when prepared and served fresh. So serve immediately. Also, don’t leave the avocado and mango soaked in the dressing, it will become soggy. If you will serve it for later, don’t put the dressing yet until it’s ready to serve.
