Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 lb cooked shrimp (peeled & deveined, tails off)

• 1–2 ripe avocados, diced

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Juice of 2 limes (zest one of them for extra zing!)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Optional: 1 jalapeño, finely diced (for heat)

Instructions:

1. Make the Dressing:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, salt, pepper, and jalapeño (if using).

2. Assemble the Salad:

   • In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.

3. Toss & Chill:

   • Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

   • Chill for 15–30 minutes (if you have the patience!) to let the flavors meld.

4. Serve:

   • Enjoy as is, or serve over mixed greens, in lettuce cups, or with cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal.

🔥 Pro Tips:

• Use grilled shrimp for extra smoky flavor.

• Want it creamier? Add a spoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the dressing.
