How to Make Cilantro Lime Shrimp Avocado Salad
To make it, I started with a head of fresh romaine that I chopped and then topped with fresh shrimp, avocado, diced red onions, grape tomatoes, and an amazingly easy and tasty cilantro lime vinaigrette dressing.
I then lightly tossed it all together to make sure everything was evenly coated with the dressing and added just a bit more chopped fresh cilantro to the salad for serving. While it isn’t necessary, it sure does make the salad even prettier, I think.
It is simply scrumptious!
