  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Seafood

  • 1½ pounds (750g) shrimp, cooked, peeled, and deveined (tails left on for presentation)

Produce

  • 1 mango, cut into cubes or strips
  • 1 avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 10 oz (300g) leafy salad mix
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • juice of ½ a lime (plus a bit extra for dressing)

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for a better presentation. Ensure shrimp are cooked before starting.
  2. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and lime juice until fully combined and smooth. Set aside.
  3. Arrange Salad Base: Place the leafy salad mix into a large bowl or divide evenly into individual serving bowls or plates.
  4. Add Toppings: Layer the salad with sliced or cubed avocado, thinly sliced green onions, mango pieces, and chopped cilantro to add freshness and flavor.
  5. Top with Shrimp and Dress: Arrange the shrimp on top of the salad layers, then drizzle generously with the creamy sweet chili lime dressing. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Leaving the shrimp tails on not only improves presentation but also makes them easier to grab as finger food.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
  • Add extra lime juice to taste for a more zesty and fresh flavor.
  • For extra crunch, consider adding toasted nuts like cashews or almonds.
  • This salad can be served as a light lunch or a starter for dinner parties.
