Instructions

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine shrimp, cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and dill.
Add Avocado (Optional): If using avocado, gently fold it in just before serving to prevent it from getting mushy.
Chill & Serve: Let the salad sit in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors. Serve cold and enjoy as a light meal or side dish!

Notes

You can substitute fresh dill with fresh parsley for a slightly different flavor.
For added crunch, you can sprinkle some toasted sunflower seeds or almonds on top.
If you’re looking to make it even lighter, swap out the honey for a lower-calorie sweetener like stevia.
