Shrimp Cucumber Salad
Shrimp Cucumber Salad is delicious and healthy! This salad is made with shrimp, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, avocado and fresh dill.
Ingredients
Ingredients in the lemon vinaigrette:
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Ingredients in the salad:
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 chopped English Cucumber
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- ½ chopped avocado
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh chopped dill
Instructions
- First, make the lemon vinaigrette. Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until combined. Set it aside.
- Remove the shrimp tails. Pat the shrimp dry and season both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper.Next, heat a pan on medium with avocado oil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Small shrimp will cook faster than larger shrimp.Let the shrimp cool before cutting them into halves or thirds (depending on how large they are). I like to chop my vegetables while I wait.
- Add the cut shrimp to a bowl along with the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, red onion and fresh dill.Add a little dressing at a time depending on how much you like.Toss and enjoy!
Notes
Storage directions:
This salad will lose crunch as it sits. I recommend eating it fresh.
If you would like to store it, you can. It will still be delicious, just not as crunchy.
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Don't add the salt until right before you eat it. This will help keep the cucumbers more crunchy.
