Hi Friends! I’m back with another recipe and this time, I’m here to share with you my all time favourite summer shrimp & avocado salad. I’m going to be honest here, I actually love this salad so much and I pretty much eat this all year round.
This salad contains my 3 favourite ingredients in ANY salad: shrimp, avocado and zucchini. One of the many other reasons why I love this salad is because of this dressing. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the “Classic Vinaigrette” or “Olive Oil” dressings. This dressing is mainly composed of garlic, onions, freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice. It’s honestly the perfect summer salad AND its healthy!
Please let me know what you guys think of this salad & be sure to recommend your favourite salads!
