- 200 grams cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium cucumber (sliced into half-moons)
- 0.5 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 70 grams Kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
- 100 grams feta cheese (crumbled)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Pat the prawns dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
Arrange the cooked prawns on top of the salad. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
Drizzle the prepared lemon-herb dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
