A refreshing and flavorful salad featuring shrimp, avocado, and a zesty lime dressing.
Combine the lime juice, cumin, lime zest, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
Use a whisk to ensure the dressing is well combined and smooth.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to maintain their tender texture.
Peel, pit, and slice the avocados. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the cilantro.
Cut the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, and cilantro. Add half of the dressing and toss gently.
Toss gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Place the mixed greens in a separate bowl. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and toss to coat.
Ensure the greens are evenly coated with the dressing.
Divide the greens among serving plates. Top with the shrimp mixture and serve immediately.
Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges for extra flavor.
