Shrimp Avocado Salad
We really like shrimp :-), they are easy and fast to make, ideal for every season, simple for a family dinner and ready to impress when you have guest! Today I fell a little nostalgic, missing the hot and sunny summer days. Here in the country side of northern Italy is starting to get pretty cold, something I almost forgot by living is Southern California for so long. So when a warmer fall day come along I take the opportunity right away to cook something summerish 🙂
Shrimp avocado salad bring to my home the So Cal taste! So many memories about those years leaving by the ocean. Dress this salad with lemon and extra virgin olive oil. Honestly in these days is my go to dressing for every salad, and a really perfect match for this one.
Enjoy and happy eating!
