Step 2: Gently combine the melon, chopped celery, strawberries and prawns with the avocado and refrigerate until needed.
Step 3: Meanwhile, puree the dressing ingredients in a food processor or liquidiser.
Step 4: Arrange the lettuce on 4 plates and divide the prawn recipe mixture between them. Pour the dressing over and serve immediately.
