  • About

This is a salad of gentle flavours: fragrant melon, dill and sea fresh prawns, balanced with a squeeze of lime juice. Fran likes to use peeled prawns for this dish, while I prefer to shell my own.

Ingredients

  • 2 charentais melons
  • 500 g large prawns, cooked
  • bunch of dill, chopped

Method

Cut a small section from the bottom of each melon (making a flat base to set it on). Slice the melons in half through the middle and, with a dessertspoon, scoop out the seeds. Cut into wedges and either divide between 6 plates or place on one large serving plate, then add the prawns and chopped dill. Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
