Prawn and Mango Skewers

As we are still feeling pretty summery this weekend I thought an easy refreshing canapé might be called for. This one takes just 10 minutes to make and can be made hours ahead and stored in the fridge. It is based on a prawn and mango salad, so if you don’t need a canape right now, make up the salad, it is delicious. Add some cooked and cooled noodles and perhaps some strips of red pepper or carrot or mange tout, in fact add any salad ingredient you have to hand. Drizzle over the dressing and finally add a sprinkle of chopped coriander. Whether you choose the canapé or salad, they are quick to prepare, make ahead, healthy and (minus the noodles) gluten free ....sorted.

12 cooked tiger prawns

Quarter of a small ridge cucumber, peeled and deseeded

Small just ripe mango, peeled
