Roast Corn, Prawn, Pepper & Avocado Salad

I love avocados. I love roasted bell peppers. I love coriander. Mix them together and viola! They become a great salad. This recipe is really easy to make, and by itself actually makes for a great meal already. Yes, I can survive on salad alone for my meals, so I love fresh, simple dishes like this.
