Mint-Marinated Prawns with Tabbouleh, Tomatoes, and Feta

This mint-marinated prawn tabbouleh is a vibrant, high-protein dish that brings together the bright flavours of the Mediterranean. Coarsely cracked bulgur wheat forms a nutty, satisfying base, soaking up a sharp lemon and olive oil dressing while softened with juicy plum tomatoes and peppery rocket. The addition of creamy feta cheese provides a lovely savoury contrast to the herb-flecked grains, making it an ideal choice for a refreshing summer meal or a sophisticated packed lunch.

Preparing this salad ahead of time allows the flavours to develop, though the final assembly is remarkably quick. Packed with lean protein from the prawns and nutrient-dense greens, it is a balanced option for those seeking a lighter yet filling dinner. Serve this colourful salad at your next gathering or enjoy it as a nutritious midweek treat that doesn't compromise on freshness or zest.

How to make Mint-Marinated Prawns with Tabbouleh, Tomatoes, and Feta

Stir bulgur, 350ml water, 120ml lemon juice, and 80ml oil in large bowl. Let stand until bulgur is tender and most liquid is absorbed, about 2 hours.

Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil, 3 tablespoons mint, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in medium bowl. Mix in prawns. Marinate 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Drain off any excess liquid from bulgur. Mix in tomatoes, rocket, feta, spring onions, garlic, remaining 3 tablespoons mint, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Season salad to taste with pepper.

Mound salad in large shallow bowl or on individual plates. Spoon prawns and dressing over and serve.

*Also called cracked wheat; available at supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and natural foods stores.
