This quick Thai-inspired salad brings crunch and tang to your table. It makes a great calorie-controlled option if you’re following the 5:2 diet too. To bulk it up on non-fasting days, double the noodles and add an extra handful of prawns.

Love noodles but don’t eat prawns? Try our goat’s cheese and soft-boiled egg noodle salad for a vegetarian version instead.

Ingredients

25g flat rice noodles or vermicelli noodles
50g green beans, trimmed and roughly chopped
½ red chilli, roughly chopped
Grating fresh garlic
1½ tsp fish sauce
Pinch caster sugar
Juice 1 lime, plus wedges to serve
5 cooked, peeled, sustainable prawns
100g courgette, shredded with a julienne peeler or cut into strips
50g cherry tomatoes, halved
30g mango, finely sliced
Small handful fresh coriander, leaves picked
5g toasted unsalted peanuts, chopped (optional)

Method

Put the noodles and green beans in a heatproof bowl and pour over a kettle of freshly boiled water. Set aside for 3-5 minutes until the noodles and beans are just tender.
In a separate large bowl, mix the chilli, garlic, fish sauce, sugar and lime juice. Add the prawns and toss to coat in the dressing.
Drain the noodles and beans, then add to the prawns and dressing along with the courgette, tomatoes and mango. Toss again, then transfer to a serving plate. Scatter with coriander leaves and chopped peanuts, if you like, then serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
