Post sponsored by
A prawn and avocado salad is a staple barbecue side dish that we all know and love, but is it really a show stopper? You can guarantee it will be by switching your classic Marie Rose sauce for this tropical coconut and lime dressing, made with Grace's coconut water, and marinading your prawns in Dunn's River Jamaican Jerk Seasoning and a sprinkle of All Purpose Seasoning. Come on, they're clearly store cupboard barbecue essentials!
The earthiness of the jerk and the sweetness of the prawns mixed with a refreshing green salad and creamy avocado is the flavour combination we didn't know we needed.
