Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad
Talk about a light and refreshing salad that requires no cooking! Lime juice and cilantro are the key ingredients to creating this wonderful, healthy salad you'll want to make all summer long. Made with cooked peeled shrimp and the freshest ingredients – avocados, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and chopped jalapeño tossed with some freshly squeezed lime juice and a touch of olive oil.
I'm remaking this from the archives for lunch today, so I took theopportunity to re-shoot this since the photos needed some updating. This
is perfect to serve as an appetizer, or for a lunch or light meal. Youcan put this over a tostada to make it a little more substantial and you
can easily adapt this to suit your taste by adding more or lesscilantro, jalapeño etc. If you plan on making this ahead of time, youcan combine all the ingredients except for the avocado and cilantro andkeep this refrigerated, then add them just before serving. This easilydoubles for a large crowd.
