| 1/2
| | Medium-size avocado | | 1/2
| tsp | Lemon juice | | 1
| | Medium-size, ripe seasonal | | | -melon (i.e. ogen | | | -cantaloupe or honeydew) | | 1
| | Celery heart, chopped | | 4
| oz | Strawberries, hulled and | | | -sliced | | 8

Procedures:
| 1 | Preparation time: 20 minutes freezing: not recommended | | 2 | peel and chop the avocado and place it in a mixing bowl. | | 3 | Sprinkle it with the lemon juice to prevent it from discolouring. | | 4 | halve the melon, discard the seeds and scoop out the flesh using a melon baller (or cut it into cubes). | | 5 | Gently combine the melon, chopped celery, strawberries and prawns with the avocado and refrigerate until needed. | | 6 | meanwhile, puree the dressing ingredients in a food processor or liquidiser. | | 7 | Arrange the lettuce on 4 plates and divide the prawn mixture between them. | | 8 | Pour the dressing over and serve immediately. | | 9 | cook"s notes: when melons are ripe they should "give" slightly when pressed at the stalk end. | | 10 | wrap up melons well if storing them in the refrigerator as otherwise they will permeate everything around them with their heady scent. |
