Healthy. Light. Refreshing. Packed with flavor.
What more could you want in a summer dish?
Have it for a super light dinner, lunch, or even as an appetizer (I bet this would be freaking amazing with crunchy tortilla chips), the possibilities with this dish are endless.
I’m not sure about you, but where we live, it’s been crazy H.O.T. and humid – we’re talkin’ 90 degrees outside, but it feels like 103 with 98% humidity. Yikes.
Bring ooooooooon the ice cream, margaritas, and all the pasta salads.
But as much as I’d like to indulge in ice cream #allday #everyday, summer also happens to be shorts and tank top weather, so I need as many cooling, healthy recipes I can get my hands on.
So, you guys, here ya go, the best, most refreshing, crazy flavorful snack/lunch/dinner: Shrimp Avocado Salad.
Sooooooooo this week has kind of gotten away from me. It’s been one of those weeks that been crazy busy, but I feel like I haven’t actually gotten anything productive accomplished.
You know what I mean?
Liiiike, I’ve been working, and I’ve been getting stuff done, but it’s been all the “behind the scenes” things like dealing with payments, and doing research, and responding to e-mails, instead of recipe testing, and photographing, and making videos.
That’s why, today especially, I needed something super quick and easy that I could have for lunch, a snack, or dinner.
And you guys. This Shrimp Avocado Salad Recipe did not disappoint.
The base of the salad is just red onion, cucumber, shrimp, avocado, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic. The “dressing” is lemon juice, red wine vinegar, the teeny tiniest bit of oil from the sun dried tomatoes, and dried spices: oregano, basil, dill, and salt.
The best part about this recipe, is that it’s no-bake, because we’re using already cooked shrimp! My local grocery store was having a sale on cooked, frozen shrimp, so I just quickly thawed the shrimp, chopped it up a bit, and a few minutes later, I had this freaking amazing Shrimp Avocado Salad.
Tender shrimp, creamy avocado, chewy sun dried tomato, cooling cucumber all tossed with a bright, tangy, flavorful sauce. . .
My GOSH this is good you guys.
Healthy, cold, flavorful deliciousness comin’ at ya!

Very nice recipe, delicious. I added another whole lemon to dressing mix, needed way more tart. I was thinking of changing it up with some chopped fresh cilantro and a small amount of finely diced jalapeno. Thanks its a keeper!

Just made this. Used fresh shrimp and sautéed with Old Bay and garlic infused olive oil. Chopped those little babies up and mixed with all the other ingredients. OMG! Awesome and light. I may decrease the dill by half but that’s a personal preference on dill. Next time I may mix a little quinoa in for a little more protein. Def one I will keep in the recipe book.

Hi Gail! Thank you so much. Yes. It can be made in advance. 🙂 Cooked shrimp can last up to 4 days in the fridge, but I would recommend making this the day before or the morning of.
