Jalapeno and Prawn Salad Recipes

Ingredients :

1 iceberg lettuce or 2 little gem lettuces, separated into leaves, or assorted lettuce leaves

4 tbsp mayonnaise

4 tbsp soured cream

12 oz cooked prawns, thawed if frozen, chopped

1/2 cup cooked green beans, chopped

1/2 cup cooked carrots, chopped

1/2 cucumber

2 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped

1 drained pickled jalapeno chili, seeded and chopped

Line a large salad bowl or platter with the lettuce leaves. Mix the mayonnaise and soured cream together in a small bowl and put aside. Combine the prawns, beans, carrot, cucumber, eggs and chili in a separate bowl. Season with salt. Add the mayonnaise and soured cream mixture to the prawns, folding it in very gently so that all the ingredients are well mixed and coated with the dressing. Pile the mixture into the lined salad bowl or arrange attractively on the platter and serve.
