Prawn and walnut salad

There were some left over cooked prawns in the kitchen today, so I made myself a small bowl of prawn salad. I was thinking about some ingredients to compliment the taste of prawns when I stumbled upon some walnuts and a lemon. I knew exactly then they will make a perfect salad for an afternoon tea. A salad that has a full range of taste; sweet, sour, salty and bitter.

Boiled some prawns in lightly salted water. Drain away the water and let the prawns to cool. Mixed in some crushed roasted walnuts, some lemon juice and the prawns into a bowl. Chill the mix in the fridge. Serve as is.
