Bright Lime Shrimp Avocado Salad 🍤🍋Cool shrimp, creamy avocado, and tomato meet a clean lime dressing that softens the red onion just enough. It is fresh, bright, and quietly bold from cilantro and jalapeño.
Bright Lime Shrimp Avocado Salad 🥗
🛒Ingredients :
1 lb cooked jumbo shrimp, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 tomato, diced
1 avocado, diced
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 jalapeño, de-seeded and finely diced
👩🍳How to Make It:
- Soften the Onion
Place the red onion, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the onion mellows and the dressing becomes more rounded. - Prepare the Fresh Ingredients
Add the chopped shrimp, diced tomato, avocado, jalapeño, and cilantro to a separate bowl. Keep the avocado pieces intact for a creamy but clean texture. - Bring the Salad Together
Spoon the shrimp mixture into the lime dressing. Fold gently from the bottom of the bowl so the shrimp and vegetables are coated without crushing the avocado. - Refine the Seasoning
Taste the salad and adjust with a little more salt or pepper if needed. The lime should feel bright while the shrimp remains sweet and delicate. - Serve Fresh
Serve immediately as a chilled salad, a light appetizer, or a fresh filling for tacos or lettuce cups. Keep the presentation loose and colorful.
