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

- 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
- In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, lime juice, salt, pepper and cumin and set aside.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl, add the onions, garlic, carrots, peas, shrimp, avocado and cilantro.
- Add the mayonnaise mixture and toss well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

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!
