Summer Shrimp Salad.


Who doesn't love salads, whether a simple side salad or a dinner salad I am always trying out different ways I can a different touch to salads.
I came up with this, what I like about this one is that  you can make this one ahead of time and keep in cold in the refrigerator until dinner or lunch. If you  don’t like shrimps you can substitute it with grilled or sautéed Salmon. Ok here we go I hope I explain it good, it's easy and yummy.





Summer Shrimp Salad
.
You will need:
1 pound of Shrimps without the tails
2 ripe avocados
1 ripe mango
Romaine Lettuce ( I used two heads )
Almonds
Dried cranberries
Cilantro

I seasoned my shrimp with a mix of Caribbean Jerk seasonings, Cajun spices and Badia all seasoning.
But you can use whatever seasoning you want to. I then sauteed them in a pan and put them aside. I then toasted the almonds and put those also aside, if you do not like almonds, I am pretty sure that pine nuts would work just as fine. Wash the lettuce and chopped them into bite size pieces and place them in a salad bowl. I cut the avocado and mango also into bite size pieces. I  mix the avocado, mango, dried cranberries, toasted almonds with the lettuce.
I chopped some fresh cilantro and mix this as well. I added the Shrimp and mix everything well, this salad is yummy on its own just sprinkle a little bit of lime and your dinner is ready. I love balsamic vinaigrette so I decided to sprinkle just a tiny bit on it , one word Delicious.

If you decide to use Salmon just grilled or sauteed the salmon and then let it cool a bit then cut them in bite size pieces and add these to your salad.

Enjoy,

Dressed in White.

Today was one of those beautiful day's , the sun was out, light breeze, good company and a yummy lunch in old Roswell.
I decided to wear all white and combined it with browns. 
I bought these glasses 2 weeks ago, I love this shape and that it has the golden rim.
I can't wait to share a yummy summer salad I put together today for a magazine in Holland.
