A refreshing salad showcasing succulent shrimp, creamy avocado, and crunchy greens, all topped with a zesty honey lime dressing.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  3. Cook the shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
  4. Make the honey lime dressing: Whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Prepare the salad base: In a large serving bowl, combine mixed greens and diced avocado.
  6. Combine: Gently toss the cooked shrimp into the bowl with greens and avocado.
  7. Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
  8. Taste and adjust: Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes

Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions for added flavor and presentation.
