Mango, Avocado and Shrimp (large) Salad
Source: joanie
2 ripe mangos, diced
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 small romaine lettuce, washed and torn into small pieces
1 TBL chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
1 LB cleaned, precooked large shrimp defrosted
1 good cup cooked rice or small pasta (I use orzo (ie rice shaped pasta))
Dressing:
2 TBL fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic minced (depends on strength of garlic, use less if one clove is quite strong)
1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated or minced
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp borrie (turmeric)
2 tsp sugar
Layer well washed and dried lettuce on large platter. Layer avocado then pasta then mango and lastly shrimp. Sprinkle well-mixed dressing over the entire salad.
Joanie's notes:
I found that in fact this is nicer if the prawns and mango are first put into a plastic bag with the dressing for a couple of hours and then spread in the layers. Serve sprinkled with coriander (cilantro) and fresh, crisp baguette.
