Categories: Starters, Weight watc
Yield: 4 servings

1/2 Medium-size avocado
1/2 ts Lemon juice
1 Medium-size, ripe seasonal
-melon (i.e. ogen,
-cantaloupe or honeydew)
1 Celery heart, chopped
4 oz Strawberries, hulled and
-sliced
8 oz Cooked, peeled prawns
-(thawed if frozen)
2 Little Gem lettuces, rinsed
-and torn into pieces
For the dressing:
8 oz Strawberries
1 ts Caster sugar
2 ts Olive oil
1 tb Unsweetened orange juice
2 ts Chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground
-black pepper

Preparation time: 20 minutes Freezing: not
recommended

Peel and chop the avocado and place it in a mixing
bowl. Sprinkle it with the lemon juice to prevent it
from discolouring.

Halve the melon, discard the seeds and scoop out the
flesh using a melon baller (or cut it into cubes).
Gently combine the melon, chopped celery,
strawberries and prawns with the avocado and
refrigerate until needed.

Meanwhile, puree the dressing ingredients in a food
processor or liquidiser.
Arrange the lettuce on 4 plates and divide the prawn
mixture between them. Pour the dressing over and serve
immediately.

Cook's notes: when melons are ripe they should
'give' slightly when pressed at the stalk end.

Wrap up melons well if storing them in the
refrigerator as otherwise they will permeate
everything around them with their heady scent.
