Once I tasted this salad, I knew it was going to be a favorite this summer. The sweetness of the mango pairs so well with the shrimp, avocado and the homemade dressing. Also, it's super important to me to have some crunch in my salad. The crunch from the peppers and almonds brings this salad all together!

Mango Avocado Shrimp Salad with Peanut Lime Dressing
Mango Avocado Shrimp Salad with Peanut Lime Dressing is easy to make and comes together in less than 20 minutes. This healthy and light salad is perfect for summer!
Ingredients
Ingredients in Mango Avocado Shrimp Salad
- 4 cups spring mix
- 1 ½ cups thawed frozen shrimp (peeled and deveined) - I used small wild pink shrimp
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup diced avocado
- ⅓ cup diced mango
- ⅛ cup diced red onion
- ½ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 3 tbsp sliced almonds
Ingredients in Peanut Lime Dressing
- 3 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice - the juice of about 2 limes
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- desired amount of sesame seeds to sprinkle on top of the salad
Instructions
- First, make the dressing for the salad. Whisk together all ingredients for the Peanut Lime Dressing in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Secondly, assemble all ingredients for the salad. Place the spring mix, avocado, mango, red onion, red bell pepper and almonds in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Then, thaw the frozen shrimp. Take the shrimp out of the package and put them into a bowl in the sink. Run cold water over the shrimp for about 4-5 minutes. When the shrimp are soft and no longer frozen, they are thawed. Place the shrimp onto a paper towel and pat them dry to remove the water.
- Now, place the shrimp into a clean bowl and add in the garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are coated in the spices.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the shrimp in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. The shrimp will turn pink when cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and add them on top of the salad mixture. Drizzle the dressing on top, sprinkle with sesame seeds, toss and enjoy!
