This Grilled Chili Marinated Prawn Salad with Lime Vinaigrette Dressing is healthy, creative and easy to prepare. Fresh ingredients rule the day, featuring cherry tomatoes, avocado and grilled corn. Even the dressing takes advantage of freshly squeezed lime and orange juice. A surprise ingredient gives the vinaigrette a slight “kick” for flavor.
