Prawn, Mango and Macadamia Salad With Lemon Basil Dressing

This so easy-to-fix & lovely salad is from the Australian Women's Weekly *Best Seafood Recipes* cookbook. I see it as an ideal luncheon entree or the perfect starter salad course for a spec romantic dinner for 2, but it can be expanded easily to serve 4 (Time does not include time to cook & cool prawns). *Enjoy* Show more
