For me, the perfect summer salad has to be refreshing, healthy, filling, and packed with flavor. This mango, shrimp, and avocado salad is just that. Wait, is it still summer? The weather says yes, so I say yes!
This recipe is packed with lots of goodies: crunchy romaine lettuce, sweet mango, creamy avocado, honey and chili seasoned shrimp, and plenty of cilantro and red onion for an extra kick. It almost doesn’t need any dressing at all!
Has that ever stopped me though? Why not add a little more flavor? You’re going to love the homemade cilantro lime vinaigrette. It’s so flavorful and easy to make! Just throw all the ingredients in a blender and about a minute later you’ll have a beautiful green dressing that will take your tastebuds straight to cloud nine.
Did I mention that this salad is completely paleo? Delicious and healthy. Just the way I like it.
Enjoy!
