This is a take on a Spanish tapas recipe which is full of sunny flavours and is very healthy. It can be served as a light lunch or as part of a larger tapas platter to share with friends.	Feeling a little down? This colourful salad is able to liven up even the dreariest of days. It's important to remember that you must consume it as soon as possible as the avocado turns brown very quickly.	Enjoy this tasty dip with smoked trout or smoked salmon instead of prawns. Ask your fishmonger to prepare the prawns for you, or they can be bought ready-made in most supermarkets.	Shrimps are an ideal cooking ingredient as they are so versatile with a wide range of flavours. Our recipe consists of an unexpected combination with lentils that makes this dish all-that-more healthy and nutritious. It will definitely become your new favorite sea food.
