Shrimp, Avocado, and Tomato Salad include two of my favorite foods together on one plate. Avocado and shrimp. Dee-lish! A great recipe.
This is a Williams-Sonoma recipe which can be served as a salad or a light lunch.
Perfect for a warm day. Fairly easy, too.
The dressing can be made up to 2 hours ahead.
