Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Keep prawns, dressing, and salad components separate in airtight containers for storage. The salad lasts about 1 day in the fridge.
Can substitute mango with pineapple, papaya, or berries for a fruity twist.
Frozen prawns can be used; ensure they are thawed and drained before cooking.
