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!

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!
