This Hawaiian Prawn Salad is one of my go to favorites when I want something fresh and impressive without spending hours in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just 40 minutes, and honestly, most of that is just prep work. What I love most is how the tropical fruit balances beautifully with the succulent prawns and that zesty lime dressing. Plus, prawns are packed with protein and selenium, which is fantastic for your immune system. The best part? It's incredibly affordable and uses simple ingredients you can usually find at any grocery store. This is the kind of salad that makes you feel like you're on vacation while being totally doable on a weeknight.

Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the prawns to the skillet, cook until pink and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Tip: Be careful not to overcook the prawns, as they can become tough.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
Tip: This dressing will add a nice balance of sweet and sour flavors to the salad.
- 5
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced pineapple, diced mango, and chopped cilantro.
Tip: This is the base of the salad, so make sure to choose a variety of colorful and fresh ingredients.

Once the prawns are cooked, add them to the bowl with the greens and toss to combine.
Tip: This will help to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the salad.
