Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the prawns and cook them for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the prawns are cooling, prepare the vegetables. Arrange the mixed salad greens on a large serving platter or individual plates. Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, diced avocado, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Once the prawns are cool, place them on top of the salad. Drizzle the soy-free vinaigrette evenly over the entire salad.
