Ingredients

1/2	each	avocado	medium size
1/2	teaspoon	lemon juice
1	each	melon	seasonal, medium size
1	each	celery heart	chopped
4	ounces	strawberries	hulled and sliced
8	ounces	prawns	cooked and peeled
2	each	lettuce	gem lettuces, rinsed and torn in pieces

For the dressing
8	ounces	strawberries
1	teaspoon	caster sugar
2	teaspoons	olive oil
1	tablespoon	orange juice	unsweetened
2	teaspoons	parsley leaves	chopped, fresh
1	x	salt and black pepper	freshly ground, to taste

Directions

Freezing is not recommended for this recipe.

Peel and chop the avocado and place it in a mixing bowl.

Sprinkle it with the lemon juice to prevent it from discolouring.

Halve the melon, discard the seeds and scoop out the flesh using a melon baller (or cut it into cubes).

Gently combine the melon, chopped celery, strawberries and prawns with the avocado and refrigerate until needed.

Meanwhile, puree the dressing ingredients in a food processor or liquidiser.

Arrange the lettuce on 4 plates and divide the prawn mixture between them.

Pour the dressing over and serve immediately.

Cook's notes: when melons are ripe they should 'give' slightly when pressed at the stalk end.

Wrap up melons well if storing them in the refrigerator as otherwise they will permeate everything around them with their heady scent.

Blanched Gai Lan Dressed with Rice Wine And Oyster Sauce

I lived in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia for 3 years and one of my favorite dishes was Oyster Gai Lan, this is the closest recipe to the dish I was served in all three countries - although it was garnished with sauteed shallot and ginger. Can't tell you how long I've been looking for this recipe from all the local food hawkers in those countries!!
