Any Recipes that I can try out for a light fresh summer meal?!
Answers: Really want to get into some cooking while I'm on a break from uni and would love any recipes or tips to cook some easy light and fresh summer meals for my partner & I.
This is a recipe that evolved over time when I owned a cafe in Queensland Australia. You are the first to have been given it. The ingredients given are for about 6 servings.
Tropical Chicken Salad
Mix together 300 grams of Rocket, 2 big double-handfuls of shredded chicken, 150 grams of walnuts broken apart or roughly chopped, 250 grams of seedless grapes (green or red) OR chopped fresh mango, 1 cup roughly cut fresh basil leaves.
Mix together with dressing of about 2/3 cup mayonnaise, 2/3 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup “Palms” Mango & Paw-Paw Chutney, and 2 teaspoons curry powder.
Hope you like it.

Grilled shrimp skewers with bell pepper and onions. Marinate the shrimp with olive oil, cilantro, garlic, pepper and green onions a little lime juice for about an hour. Then skewer them up with generous slices of pepper and onions and grill them for 3 minutes a side.
The beauty is that the cold shrimp leftovers make a great next-day snack by the pool.
