Inspired by Eat, Play, Love’s Honey Mango Prawn Salad (click here about my visit), I have decided to create my own bowl of fresh salad for my wife’s friends who will be paying us a visit. Like the Honey Mango Salad, I will be topping some fresh, sweet and juicy cubes of Thai Honey Mango into my bowl of chilled Summer Salad. Besides that, deshelled cooked prawns and chopped walnuts are also added for some seafood goodness and nutty mouthfeel.
Talking about the Summer Salad, this is a French-inspired salad bowl which is a light and hearty bowl of fresh green vegetables. Normally it is served together with eggs, tuna chunks and anchovies, followed by dressing the fresh greens with vinaigrette. Vinaigrette dressing’s key ingredients are vinegar and olive oil, hence giving that sour and light taste. This vinaigrette dressing is also known as Italian dressing.
