Prawns and Avocado Salad with Mango & New “Print Recipe” Feature
When our lovely neighbors came for dinner last week, and we ate a late meal under the stars, little did I know we’d be indulging in such a beautiful salad. Because I delegated this portion of the meal, it was a surprise to all of us.
The salad my neighbor served was so fresh and colorful, and the dressing was so light, all of the guests oohed and ahhed. I have to admit, I was a little concerned that the main entree wouldn’t measure up to our salad course! But it all worked out, and our night together was not only long-past due, but really enjoyable.
Here’s a little thanks to my neighbor, Ellie, for bringing this beautiful salad.
I’m also very happy to share a brand new option here on RE today.
You can now print out the recipes that I share on my blog!
Happy Dance!
All you have to do is click the tiny button on the right side, right above the recipe, that says, “PRINT THIS.”
Now I’m trying to figure out, when I ask a question, if I should put it before the recipe or at the end of the post, after the recipe. Do you have a preference? Here’s my question for this post, so let me know what you think.
In the meantime, enjoy this gorgeous, flavorful recipe!
Do you find that you use “Print Recipe” options on blogs?

Hello and welcome to my home and table!

You always have such tempting (but simple) dishes here that encourage me to try something new sweet friend! This is lovely. And sounds like a fun night too.
I still hold out hope that one day our families will get together to hangout and cook and visit and laugh and sing.
This recipe sounds exactly like something I would LOVE to eat. And, yes, the option to print the recipe is one that I often take advantage of when I’m on my “go to” blogs. Makes life a little easier and I’m always for that. Thanks for adding this feature!
Yum yum yum! I love mangos, avocados and shrimp so it is basically a dream come true! I have a smart phone so I make sure I have the recipe open in a browser and then just use my phone at store and while cooking. I still think print recipe is a great option though!
I do print out recipes that I find on blogs. My wife does not read blogs but loves new recipes, so when I find one that I think we would enjoy I print it and take it home. We have had some wonderful meals from those print outs!!!
Blessings to you and yours

Tonight is Family Dinner Night in our household, when our twenty-something (age, not number!) children commit to being home for a family meal just like when they were all younger. We are a farm family, growing avocados in So. California. This salad will definitely be a hit … thank you for the delicious recipe!
I do print out recipes and am delighted to find that button on your site! As for your question, my preference is to place it at the end of the post so that I won’t forget to answer it!
YES! Sandy, a party such as this IS INDEED a gift from God! Thank you so much for linking it to Grace Imparted. I want to create a space where people can share posts about God’s gifts great and small. :)
That salad is absolutely, positively beautiful.
I’ve only used a “print recipe” option once, I think, but I may do it more. I think it’s a good feature.
I like the question before and I love the option to print recipes! ~CA
I love being able to print right from your blog! Thank you for adding this feature. I haven’t seen it on any other blogs but I know I’ll really enjoy having it here. The salad looks fantastic – I will definitely serve it sometime!

OHHHH!!!! LOVE this feature! I’ve always wanted to have this option on my blog (yes, I use it on others), but never knew it was a WP plug-in. Off to look for it! I don’t really have a preference for where you put the “print this” – as long as it’s right near the actual recipe, we’ll find it :-) !
Beaaaauuutiful salad, Sandy!
I’ve not used the print feature on any site just yet, but I love the option!
