Spicy Avocado Prawn Salad

Spicy Avocado Prawn Salad

This recipe is one of my favorites! I adapted it from a Paley's Place recipe. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland and they are known for their Northwest flair. This summer, I made the Warm Spot- Prawn, Tomato, and Feta Salad. It was an amazing dish. This recipe is similar, and yet so extremely different with the addition of salsa and avocado, and omitting the capers and Persillade. I encourage all my reader to play with their recipes, experiment, and never be afraid to try something new!

1/4 cup of extra- virgin olive oil

1 medium head of Red Leaf Lettuce
