Snazzy prawn, grapefruit and avocado salad

Hidden among the greens, this salad rehydrates and recharges your body with its high levels of water, mono-saturated fat, HDL cholesterol and vitamin C. Regardless of the health benefits, the tart bursts from the grapefruit, crisp crunch from salad greens, and natural creaminess of avocados plus the delicious prawns will delight your taste buds.
