Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons canola or olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and ground white pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Yogourt Dressing
1 cup (250 g/8 oz) yogourt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Pinch of cayenne pepper
Directions
- Cut lettuce into strips. Tear larger sorrel leaves into pieces. Arrange lettuce and sorrel on serving plates. Cut tomatoes into quarters and add to salad.
- To make vinaigrette, whisk oil and lemon juice until combined; add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over lettuce.
- To make yogourt dressing, stir yogourt, mayonnaise, vermouth and lime juice until creamy. Season well with salt, white pepper and cayenne pepper.
- Spoon yogourt dressing and prawns on to salad. Garnish with dill and lemon slices.
Variation: In place of dry vermouth in the yogourt dressing, use 1 teaspoon dry white wine or 1 teaspoon orange juice. Dry vermouth has a slightly ‘herby’ taste and aroma.
