Prawns and Mango Salad with Glass Noodles

This vibrant prawn and mango salad with glass noodles is a refreshing high-protein dish that perfectly balances sweet, savoury, and spicy notes. Drawing inspiration from Southeast Asian flavours, it pairs succulent king prawns with juicy mango cubes and fragrant fresh basil. The light, transparent bean thread noodles provide a satisfying base that soaks up the zesty rice vinegar dressing without feeling heavy. It is an ideal choice for a nutritious lunch or a light evening meal during the warmer months.

Quick to prepare and naturally low in fat, this recipe is excellent for those seeking a fresh, homemade alternative to shop-bought salads. The combination of lean protein and fibre-rich fruit makes it a healthy, energising option that does not compromise on authentic flavour. Serve it chilled for the best results, perhaps with an extra scattering of fresh herbs for a professional finish.
