Mexican Prawn Salad image

From *Taste of Mexico* by Elisabeth L. Oritz & per her intro, "Salads in Mexico are usually served w/the main course instead of green vegetables. Salads containing meat or seafood, however, are very satisfying & usually served as a separate course." I adapted this essentially make-ahead & assemble in minutes salad to suit our preferences w/options to add Old Bay Seasoning to the dressing & garnish w/avocado or lime wedges as desired. All ingredients are pre-cooked, but it seemed realistic to show that + ingredient prep time, so 20 min was allowed for prep & 5 min for assembly. *Enjoy* !
