Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Serve:Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Recipe Notes :
Prawns: Fresh, frozen, or canned prawns can be used. Ensure they are thawed and drained if previously frozen.
Nuts: Toasting walnuts enhances their flavor. Alternatively, you can use pecans or almonds for a different taste.
Dressing Variations: For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. A splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar can add extra tang.
Storage: Best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day.
