Another winning recipe from Elly Pear’s Fast Days and Feast Days cookbook. The dressing for this Bloody Mary Prawn Salad is just the right amount of spicy and there was not even a shred of lettuce left on any plate after I served this one last weekend.

80g tomato passata
¼ tbsp mayonnaise
½ tsp tabasco, to taste

Blitz all the dressing ingredients in a bowl, or whisk together well.
Separate the leaves of the little gem and lay them on a serving plate, Layer around the radicchio and fennel. Top with the prawns and garnish with the dill, cress and celery leaves.
Splatter some of the dressing over the salad and serve the rest on the side. Season then serve, squeezing the lemon juice over the whole salad before eating.
