SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD

This Shrimp and Avocado Salad is a light, nutrient-rich dish perfect for any time of day. The creamy texture of the avocado, paired with fresh, juicy shrimp and crisp cucumber, offers a balanced combination of textures and flavours. This salad is enhanced by a squeeze of lemon juice that adds a bright, tangy note to complement the smoothness of the avocado. Olive oil brings a subtle richness, while salt and pepper highlight each flavour. This salad is high in protein and contains heart-healthy fats. This salad is ideal for those looking for a satisfying yet healthy option that is easy to prepare. It’s versatile enough to serve as a standalone meal or a refreshing starter for any gathering.

PREPARATION

  • Prepare Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, and chopped cucumber. For best results, ensure the shrimp are chilled before adding them to the salad.
  • Season Salad: Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil evenly over the shrimp, avocado, and cucumber. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, then toss gently to coat each ingredient without mashing the avocado.
  • Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate. Garnish with an extra lemon wedge on the side for added zest if desired. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavour, or chill briefly if preferred.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

None

TIPS

  • Brighten Flavours: Use fresh ingredients like freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten the flavours and enhance the freshness.
  • Gentle Toss: Avoid overmixing; gently toss the salad to keep the avocado in pieces, as mashing can make the salad too creamy.
  • Herb Elevation: Add herbs like dill or parsley for a fragrant layer that elevates the dish.
  • Crunchy Finish: For added crunch, sprinkle sunflower seeds, chopped nuts or a few pumpkin seeds on top just before serving.

VARIATIONS

  • Swap Protein: Replace shrimp with grilled chicken, seared scallops or tofu for alternative protein options.
  • Veggies Add-ins: Include cherry tomatoes, diced bell peppers or thinly sliced red onions for extra nutrients, colour and flavour.
  • Zesty Touch: Swap lemon juice with lime juice for a zestier touch, perfect for pairing with shrimp.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of chilli flakes or a dash of hot sauce to introduce a subtle heat to the salad.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. To maintain the avocado’s freshness and prevent browning, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over it before storing.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as avocado and cucumber tend to become mushy after freezing and thawing.
