Prawn & Black Rice Salad With Vietnamese Dressing image

My housemate bought me Nigella Lawson's Forever Summer Cookbook. It's absolutely gorgeous and there are soooo many amazing recipes I want to try out. This one comes from page 75. I'm just putting the recipe here, however there is a lot more information and serving ideas in the book. **I have made this now and it is very yummy and very easy!

Steps:
