This Prawn and Black Rice Salad is a flavorful, nutritious dish that combines the richness of prawns with the earthy, slightly nutty taste of black rice. A light, tangy dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro ties everything together. The prawns add a protein boost, while the black rice provides fiber and antioxidants.
