Honey Garlic Prawn and Bacon Salad
Something Light & Refreshing for Summer…
For me, summertime dining is all about light, refreshing meals. And this honey garlic prawn and bacon salad just hits the spot nicely. Not only is it quick and easy to create, but it’s that perfect amount to be filling. This salad recipe is great for a long summer evening dining outside in your garden, or a side salad for a large gathering.
With this honey garlic prawn and bacon salad recipe, you can totally change it up. If you’re not a big fan of seafood, then this recipe would work perfectly with chicken, your cooking time will be longer. With prawns and diced bacon, you’re not spending hours over the stove, ideal on hot summer days. For that extra saltiness, the feta is the cherry on top of the cake. Combined with the creaminess of the avocado, it’s a dream pair. Alternatively, halloumi is another salty cheese that will work with this salad recipe.
This salad is one that I’m going to be whipping up time and time again this summer. So quick and easy, you know it’s going to be a regular on my Instagram Stories.

This salad is also perfect for lunches. Ideally, I would make up a large batch of this in the evening and take some of the leftovers with me to work. To make sure your salad doesn’t get soggy, simply whip up a new salad and take your dressing with you in a separate container.
