    Today I want to share with you another yummy salad that I made myself for lunch this week. It was fresh, quick and delicious! For a vegetarian version just omit the shrimp.

    Layers of flavors from fresh ingredients makes this salad a spring standout.

    Buen provecho!

      That is the kind of salad I could eat for lunch and dinner every day of the week; I noticed you are only using one tablespoon of olive oil: it is to watch your fat intake? or do you like so little?

        Joumana- This salad doesn't need extra fat, because of the avocado. I love olive oil!

      That looks really lovely. I love using shrimp in salad, it really give the dish that fresh ocean breeze feel. Green salad is actually my favorite, I'll just toss in grilled shrimp and I'm all set for dinner, lol! This recipe of yours sounds interesting, I like the touch of avocado there. I'd definitely give this a try. Thanks for sharing by the way.
