Low FODMAP Cajun Prawns with Mexican Salad and Chipotle Dressing

Serves 4

Our Cajun Prawn, Mexican salad is no ordinary salad. No, here at The Friendly Food Co. we take salads to the next level. This vibrant salad not only brings you all colours of the rainbow (hello antioxidants), it’s also bursting with flavour! The combination of fresh herbs and lime with the creamy dressing gives it depth and a complexity of flavours. Paired with tangy Cajun prawns, it’s a match made in heaven.
