Shrimp Avocado Salad Recipe
Description
The key components are peeled, deveined shrimp and ripe avocado cut into large pieces, which deliver protein and creamy texture respectively. Red onion adds a mild sharpness and crunch. The dressing blends olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and chopped parsley, creating a balanced vinaigrette with a subtle garlicky note and herbaceous freshness.
The salad is simply assembled by combining shrimp, avocado, and onion in a bowl and tossing with the dressing. Additional dressing can be served on the side to control moisture and flavor intensity. The dish is suitable as a light lunch or appetizer, providing a mix of textures and bright, savory flavors without heaviness.
