Shrimp and avocado salad

This is a great healthy salad that is fresh and good for you. It can be used as a light lunch or as a meal. I sometimes add boiled new potatoes to it if I serve it as a dinner.

Ingredients:

For Salad

1 Large ripe avocado (you can add 2 if you like them that much).
1lb cooked large shrimp peeled or you can use frozen and thawed.
2 fresh red ripe tomatoes chopped
1/4 red or yellow onion chopped
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 bag mixed salad greens.
ground salt and pepper to taste

For The Vinaigrette

2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

To prepare salad, cut and slice avocado. Place salad greens on plate. Top with shrimp, tomatoes, onions and cilantro dress with dressing. You may need an extra dash of salt and pepper on top.

This serves 4-6 people. Wasn’t that easy?
