Chilli Prawn and Pasta Salad

My daughter has been nagging me for a long time to make pasta salad because if we’ve ever have to buy lunch out, this is what she chooses. So one night feeling inspired I thought about what flavours would work well together and so my Chilli Prawn and Pasta Salad was born.

I just love garlic and prawns and wanting to make the salad extra vitamin packed I added parsley and then for some kick I added the red chilli which all mingle so well with the avocado, peppers, spring onions and pasta.

I’m pleased to say the salad was a huge hit with its refreshing zing and we’ve had it a few times since I created it. You could play around with the ingredients upping the quantities and adding your own salad drawer items. One time I didn’t have any avocado so I used cucumber in instead.

You could also add some halved cherry tomatoes or some toasted pine nuts – you really can play around with the components to suit your taste.

This salad would be perfect for a packed lunch too so why not make extra and save yourself some extra work! I do hope you try this simple but flavour packed salad as it ticks all the boxes in our household!
