Prawns and Watermelon Skillet

This vibrant prawn and watermelon salad is a refreshing addition to your heart-healthy repertoire. The combination of succulent warm prawns, sweet caramelised fruit, and salty feta creates a sophisticated balance of flavours that is perfect for a light summer dinner or a nutritiously dense lunch. Using fresh mint and dill helps to brighten the dish, while the addition of cucumber provides a cooling crunch that complements the slight heat of the shallots.

Designed with cardiovascular health in mind, this recipe uses extra-virgin olive oil and fibre-rich wholemeal pita to keep you satisfied without any heavy saturated fats. It is an excellent choice for a quick midweek meal as the entire dish comes together in less than twenty minutes. Serve immediately for a contrast of temperatures, or chill the prawn and watermelon base beforehand for a crisp, refreshing alternative on a warm evening.
