Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, ;nonfat
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, reduced fat (preferably canola based)
- 2 tablespoons cocktail sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh (possibly more to taste)
- Pinch of salt (optional, to taste)
- Pinch of sugar (optional, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, crushed or minced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 16 prawns, large, peeled, deveined
- Salt and pepper (optional)
- Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half (2 for each serving)
- 2 eggs, hard-boiled, in lengthwise quarters
- Kalamata olives (optional)
- California walnuts, toasted (optional)
PREPARATION
Dressing
- Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, cocktail sauce and lime juice in a medium-small bowl and whisk to combine. Taste to see if it needs more lime.
- Add salt and sugar to taste as well, if desired. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
Prawns
- Combine the lime juice and garlic in a pie dish. Whisk in the oil. Add the prawns and swish them around until they all come into contact with the marinade. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, and cover the pan. Refrigerate for a minimum or 4 hours (overnight is okay).
- Assemble the salad ingredients on four serving plates. Preheat a grill to medium-high–or turn on the broiler. Cook the prawns for 2 minutes, then turn and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. They are done when opaque. Transfer the hot prawns to the top of the salad–4 prawns per serving.
- Top with a generous dollop of the dressing (and olives and walnuts if desired), and serve.
