    Mexican Salsa And Crayfish Salad

    by Tori

    Mexican Salsa and Crayfish Salad - finished

    This is a fun, spicy and elegant twist on a prawn cocktail. My Mexican Salsa and Crayfish Salad tastes as good as it looks, layered with a fresh Mexican corn salsa, soft crayfish tails and just enough of a kick from the chipotle and lime mayonnaise. It's a perfect lunch that will impress your guests. Use pretty picnicware and you've got an impressive portable lunch.

    Alternatives

    This is a delicious and luxurious salad and it would work equally well with shrimp, prawns or tuna.

    Not a fan of seafood? Don't worry - try chopped chicken as a delicious alternative.
