Notes
- Use shrimp that has already been peeled, deveined, and cooked for ease! Just make sure the shrimp are thawed if frozen, and proceed with the rest of the recipe.
- Look for a ripe, but firm avocado. A soft avocado can get mushy when you toss everything together.
- Make sure the red onion is finely chopped so that you don’t get large pieces in each bite. You can also use sliced green onions instead of red onion for a milder flavor.
- We love to make this salad ahead of time. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. This adds a freshness to the salad and also allows time for the dressing to soften the veggies.
