Shrimp and Avocado Salad with Citrus Dressing

Healthy Fact of the Day

Shrimp is a low-calorie source of protein, while avocados provide healthy fats and an array of vitamins. Combined in a salad with a citrusy dressing, it's a refreshing and nutritious dish.

Ingredients

 

For the Citrus Dressing:

  • Juice of 2 oranges
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

 

For the Salad:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving (optional)

 

Instructions

For the Citrus Dressing:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. Thread the peeled and deveined shrimp onto skewers. Brush them with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

  6. Arrange the grilled shrimp on top of the salad.
