- 250 grams (8oz) baby cucumbers (qukes), sliced into ribbons
- 6 watermelon radishes (210g), sliced thinly (see tips)
- 1/4 cup fresh baby coriander (cilantro)
Chilli-lime dressing
- 1/3 cup (80ml) lime juice
- 1/3 cup (80ml) lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (125ml) olive oil
- 2 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoon caster (superfine) sugar
- 2 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 1 fresh long green chilli, sliced thinly
Method
- 1To make chilli lime dressing, combine ingredients in a small bowl.
- 2Place prawns in a large bowl with half the dressing; toss to coat. Cook prawns on a heated barbecue (or grill plate or grill), until just changed in colour.
- 3Place fennel, cucumber and radish in a medium bowl; toss gently to combine.

Notes
Use sharp kitchen scissors or a chef's knife to halve the prawns; remove the vein (digestion tract). Watermelon radishes are available from specialist greengrocers. If you can't find them, use the regular red variety. Use a mandoline or V-slicer to thinly slice the fennel and radishes.
