This Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad is a fresh, vibrant dish perfect for summer! With juicy shrimp, creamy avocado, and a tangy lime dressing, it’s the perfect healthy meal or side.


Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 pound cooked, peeled, and chopped jumbo shrimp
  2. ¼ cup chopped red onion
  3. 1 diced tomato
  4. 1 diced avocado
  5. 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  6. Juice of 1 lime
  7. ¼ teaspoon salt
  8. ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, chopped red onion, diced tomato, and diced avocado.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
  • Pour the lime dressing over the shrimp and avocado mixture. Gently toss everything to combine.

 

  • Serve immediately, or chill for 10-15 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • This salad can be served chilled for a refreshing summer meal or snack.
