After an indulgent few days of festive eating, its nice to get back to a few light basics.

It’s Summer here in Melbourne and the weather has definitely been true to the season. With warm to hot days easing in and out of this holiday period, Iight salad choices are a must go-to option to ride out the heat.

This Prawn Cucumber Apple Salad combines some fresh ingredients with a zingy dressing that feels ultimately palate cleansing and refreshingly cooling. It is simple to prepare and utilises fresh everyday ingredients. If you are a lover of Prawns, you will enjoy the flavours that come with mixing these lightly seared morsels with mouthfuls of fresh cucumber and apple that is then wonderfully offset with a light zesty kick.

I love a dish that is simple and full of contrasting flavours and hope you will too!

Happy 2016 and hope to share with you more recipes in the year to come.
