1 stalk celery, chopped
2 scallions (green onions), chopped
¼ cup rice vinegar
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro

3 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lime juice
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 (12 inch) French baguettes, cut into halves
1 pound frozen cooked prawns, thawed and tails removed

Steps:

Combine carrot, celery, and scallions in a bowl. Pour vinegar over vegetable mixture and toss to coat; set aside to marinate.
