    This salad is made with avocado, potatoes, shrimp and other vegetables. It's simple to make and delicious.

    Potato, Avocado and ShrimpPin

    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 🙂
