Keep this cold prawn salad recipe up your sleeve for Christmas. Pre-cooked prawns chilled in the fridge, crisp cos lettuce and juicy roma tomatoes are the stars of the show. But what really makes this cold prawn salad shine is the creamy lemon dressing. Luscious sour cream and whole-egg mayonnaise combine with lemon rind to deliver a delicious, decadent dressing.
Ingredients
Method
Place sour cream, mayonnaise, rind and juice in a medium bowl. Add green onion to sour cream mixture, stir to combine; season.
Remove outer leaves from lettuce; trim root end. Cut each lettuce into quarters lengthways.
Arrange lettuce wedges, prawns and tomato on a large platter. Drizzle with dressing; scatter with shallots, parsley and green onions.
