Ingredients
Instructions
-
Firstly, peel the prawns, ensuring they are cleaned and deveined.
-
To prepare the marinade, in a bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and minced garlic. This will create a flavorful marinade for our prawns.
-
Place the peeled prawns into the marinade and stir well, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to soak up those delicious flavors.
-
While the prawns are marinating, let's move on to the quail eggs. Pour water into a saucepan and heat it until it boils. Gently add the quail eggs and cook them for 8 minutes. Once cooked, remove them from the heat and set aside to cool.
-
Once the quail eggs have cooled, carefully peel them and cut them in half. Keep them aside for later.
-
Now, let's assemble our salad. Place the chopped frozen lettuce on a plate, creating a bed for our salad.
-
Next, halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the lettuce. Follow by slicing the avocado and placing it on top of the salad.
-
Take the marinated prawns and fry them in a pan over medium heat, cooking them on both sides until they turn pink and are fully cooked. When finished, take them off the heat source and place them aside.
-
Now, it's time to add the cooked prawns to the salad. Place them on top of the lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado.
-
Take the peeled quail eggs, cut them in half, and arrange them on the salad as well.
-
Drizzle some olive oil and balsamic sauce over the salad, adding a delightful flavor.
-
Finally, toast the pine nuts in a dry pan until they turn golden brown. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the salad, adding a lovely crunch.
-
And there you have it, a scrumptious prawn salad! Serve it fresh and enjoy every bite.

Note
- Grilled chicken: You can grill or pan-sear chicken breast or thighs and slice them thinly to add to the salad. Chicken goes well with the other ingredients in this salad, such as avocado, tomatoes, and lettuce.
- Beans or lentils: You can also use cooked beans or lentils as a protein source in this salad. Chickpeas, black beans, or lentils would all work well and add some plant-based protein and fiber to the salad.
- Smoked salmon or tuna: If you're a fan of seafood but want to try something different from prawns, you can use smoked salmon or canned tuna instead.
- Boiled eggs: If you have quail eggs, you can use hard-boiled chicken eggs instead of quail eggs. This will add a different texture and flavor to the salad.
