Instructions
- Toss the shrimp in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
For the salad:
- Heat the grill to medium high heat. Once hot add the shrimp to the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until shrimp is pink and opaque. Let the shrimp cool for 10 minutes while you prep the dressing and salad.
- To make the salad, divide and arrange the salad greens between 4 bowls. Top with the avocado, cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, onion, and halved (or diced) boiled eggs.
- Top the salads with the shrimp and drizzle with the dressing.
- Serve immediately.
For the dressing:
- To make the dressing, add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk well until smooth and creamy.
Notes
- You can use any type of dressing that you prefer, but this zippy honey mustard vinaigrette goes great with the fresh flavors in this salad.
- You can easily make adjustments to this salad by adding or removing ingredients to suit your tastes. Grilled corn makes a great addition!
- To paste the garlic, mince it on a cutting board and then sprinkly lightly with kosher salt. Use the broad side of your knife to press the garlic into the board, dragging it towards you as you press down. Continue doing this until the garlic is a paste. This will help the garlic melt into the dressing better.
