This Mediterranean prawn salad has become my go to meal when I want something that feels fancy but comes together in under an hour. The beauty of it is the simplicity, really, just toss fresh ingredients together with a creamy tahini dressing and you're done. Prawns are packed with protein and selenium, which is wonderful for keeping your energy up, and honestly this dish won't break the bank either. I love how versatile it is, perfect for a light lunch or impressing guests without spending your afternoon in the kitchen.
