001copy

It is amazing how things turn out.  Little did I know when I wrote my very first post, ‘Passionfruit Syrup’, that it would turn out to be my most popular.  Nor did I know, a post on a very simple salad,  ‘Prawn, Mango and Avocado Salad‘, would be my second most popular.  (For the curious: my third most popular is ‘International Scone Week 2012’.  I made pumpkin scones.)

The other night,  we were trying to work out what to have for dinner.  We wanted something light and simple.  I went to Eat Your Books.  I love that website.  It tells me that I have 15, 845 recipes on my bookshelf (and they are just the ones they have indexed).  I shudder to think how many I actually do have – more like 30,000 I would think… that should keep me busy.

I typed in ‘lettuce’ and ‘coriander’.    I love coriander and thought a salad incorporating coriander would be nice and refreshing.  Up popped (along with many others) this lovely fresh salad.  It has the never-fail combination of prawns, mango and avocado.   I was off to the shop in no time.
