1 small bunch watercress
1 medium carrot, shredded
200 ml coconut milk
20 mint leaves, washed and chopped
1 mango
2 avocados
juice of 2 limes

Method

Steam yabbies and refresh, then de-shell the yabby tails.
Make dressing by mixing coconut milk, lime juice, mint and fresh pepper (a little mayonnaise can be added if creamy texture is desired). Season to taste.
