Mediterranean prawn salad

This is a fresh prawn salad that is great for entertaining. Prawns are high in protein and can be eaten freely on the low fodmap diet. The dressing is light and tangy. Don’t be tempted to substitute the fresh capsicum with a jar of roasted capsicum, as they often contain garlic (which is very high in fructans).
