Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the raw prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and fresh cilantro.
Add the cooked prawns and sliced avocado on top of the salad mixture.
Drizzle the zesty lemon-lime dressing evenly over the salad. Toss lightly to combine.
