Four ripe avocados were in the basket in my kitchen for two days while I was trying to figure out what to make with them. I eat so many avocados that sometimes I don’t know how to eat them in a different way.
So I decided to make a Potato, Avocado and Shrimp Salad and it was easy and delicious. You can’t go wrong adding avocados to a salad!
This salad is perfect for the hot summer days ahead 
Buen Provecho!
Ingredients
6 large peeled potatoes, cooked and diced
2 pounds cooked shrimp
3 ripe avocados, peeled and diced
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup diced and cooked carrots
1 cup cooked peas
1/3 cup creme fraiche or crema de leche fresca
Salt and pepper
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup grated onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Juice of 1 lime
Directions
1. In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, lime juice, salt, pepper and cumin and set aside.
2. Place the potatoes in a large bowl, add the onions, garlic, carrots, peas, shrimp, avocado and cilantro.
3. Add the mayonnaise mixture and toss well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Serve cold or at room temperature.

I have two avocados rolling around on my counter and some nice shrimp; this is a most excellent idea, especially as it’s been so warm here lately.

Now, this is the kind of potato salad I could eat all summer! It’s colorful, creamy and undoubtedly delicious. I love the use of creme fraiche (I need to make some more). This will definitely be found on the table this summer – perfect accompaniment for when we grill outdoors!
