Your new favourite summer salad. This fresh and zesty salad is served cold – perfect for dining al fresco in the summer. Once you’ve steamed the prawns and cooked the noodles you’re just left with a little light mixing and assembling. This recipe would also work beautifully with leftover shredded chicken.
