Prawn, Pesto and Mozzarella Salad Lunchbox

Monday Lunchbox 

Start your week with this decilous prawn, pesto and mozzarella salad!

Prawns are not only very tasty to eat but are very healthy too, they are a rich source of protein yet they are low in fat and calories. Notably, Prawns are a fantastic source of Selenium which helps to prevent the growth of cancer cells in the body! 

Ingredients 


- Cooked prawns 
- mixed salad leaves
- mozorella 
- basil pesto 
- tomatoes 
- spring onions 
- avodaco 
- pepper 

For the Pesto dressing you can either buy a shop bought one or try making your own! 
To make pesto from scratch you will need to heat about 50g of pine nuts in a frying pan until golden. Then place them in to a blender with a large bunch of basil, 2 cloves of garlic, 50g of parmesan and 150ml of olive oil. Once blended, simply drizzle over the salad. There should be plenty spare that you can store in the fridge for another meal! :)
