Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small mason jar, add all of your salad dressing ingredients and shake vigorously until thoroughly combined.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Add about ⅓ cup of the salad dressing to a large, flat container. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to let the shrimp marinate.
- Assemble the Salad: When ready to eat, add spring greens to a large salad bowl. Top with cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and sliced red onion.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and discard remaining marinade. Cook shrimp about 2 minutes on each side until pink.
- Finish and Serve: Add cooked shrimp to the salad and drizzle with the remaining honey lime salad dressing. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- You can also make the salad dressing by blending in a blender or whisking in a bowl. For those methods, add all the ingredients except for the olive oil. Blend or whisk them together. Then add the olive oil in a steady stream while you continue to blend or whisk until everything is incorporated.
- Instead of cooking the shrimp on the stovetop, you can also grill them on kebab skewers. They take about 2 minutes per side to grill.
