I really try to eat at least one salad a day….and I would totally be successful too if someone would just make them for me.
But since I have to make them for myself…I try to keep them pretty easy.
This avocado shrimp salad recipe is a good base salad…you can add whatever you have on hand to it and it will only get better.
I LOVE avocado!
I honestly think I could eat them for every meal of my life and never get tired of them (which means you’ll probably see a LOT more avocado recipes in the future).
I think it’s weird that my kids don’t like them…but whatever, more for me.
I also love shrimp…so pairing these two together is a no brainer for me. This salad is super easy to make when you need something fast and healthy.
Plus this homemade honey dijon vinaigrette recipe adds just the kick this salad needs.
Avocado Shrimp Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 jumbo frozen cooked shrimp
- 2 cups of greens
- 1/2 small avocado, diced
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Place the 5 jumbo frozen shrimp into a bowl of cold water to thaw.
- Put your two cups of greens into a salad bowl (I used a pre-washed package for ease.)
- Cut your avocado in half. Put the half with the seed still in it back in the fridge.
- Cut 4 length-wise cuts into the avocado and 4 sideways cuts. Then scoop out with a spoon into your bowl.
- Take the shrimp out of the water (they should be thawed by now) and remove the tails.
- Place them on a paper towel to remove any excess water.
- In a small bowl, mix the dijon mustard, honey and olive oil until completely mixed.
- Drizzle dressing over the salad and enjoy.
