    This salad is also great without the prawns served with sliced duck breast. Bx

    Great way to use up these ingredients, next time I'd probably griddle the prawns alongside the cashew nuts but what a simple yet filling salad. We had this with egg noodles too and a touch of sweet chilli sauce for dinner.

    Really fresh salad which received lots of compliments. Definitely worth toasting the cashews!
