Light Russian salad with prawns

Becky
Becky @beckyr
Alicante, Spain

Russian salad is huge in Spain, served as tapas or starter all year round, but particulary popular in home cooking during the hot Summer months. This is a light take on the usual recipe, using prawns instead of tinned tuna and mixing natural yoghurt with the sauce to cut down on mayonnaise and give it a slight tang. Makes a great starter for al fresco dining, also good picnic food too. If you do make it for a picnic, I'd recommend mixing mayo and yoghurt in with the other ingredients just before eating. Play with the quantities depending on how many will be eating. This was enough for 4.

  2. 2

    Boil and peel the prawns (or defreeze and boil). The secret of making tender prawns is to boil salted water, once boiling add the prawns, prepare a bowl with water, ice cubes and salt, as soon as the pan starts to boil again count to five, drain the prawns and add them to the iced salted water for 5 minutes. Squeeze some lemon juice over them and chop all the other ingredients.

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
