Grilled Shrimp Mango Avocado Salad

Grilled Shrimp Mango Avocado Salad is a refreshing medley of flavors you’d love as a side dish or a light lunch. Chock-full of grilled shrimps, juicy mangoes, creamy avocados, and crisp cucumbers with a tangy honey lime dressing, it’s healthy and delicious.

Now that our weather is beginning to crank up, I am fixing a lot more fresh salads in place of hot meals at home. Not only do they require minimal work in the kitchen, they’re a delicious way to get my bod beach-ready in time for summer. 🙂

I posted my favorite poke bowl recipe last week and today, I am following it up with a grilled shrimp mango avocado salad that is chockful of flavor and texture you’re sure to love.

A refreshing medley of grilled shrimps, juicy mangoes, creamy avocados, crisp cucumbers, and pungent red onions in a sweet and tangy honey lime dressing, every spoonful of this summer salad is like a party in your mouth! And not only does it tastes great, it’s packed with nutrients that are good for you, too!

Grilled Shrimp Mango Avocado Salad is a simple no-fuss meal you can have ready in a cinch. The salad can be easily halved or doubled depending on what you need and it can also be prepared a few hours in advance especially when serving a crowd. I usually enjoy it as a light lunch but it’s equally amazing as a side dish for your favorite BBQ meats.

Tips on How to Make Grilled Shrimp Mango Avocado Salad:

• For best texture, use mangoes that are ripe enough to be bright yellow and sweet but are still on the firm side. I highly suggest Indian mangoes for this recipe as they have a firmer flesh than our Manila variety when ripe.
• I prefer Persian cucumbers as they have thin skins and minimal seeds. They are also very crunchy and hold up better in the dressing.
• If you’re making the salad ahead for a party, cut open and toss in the avocados just before serving to keep from browning.
• I use a grill pan to cook the shrimps but you can just easily use a regular skillet. Make sure to only lightly grease the pan and cook on high heat so the shrimps sear nicely and do not over cook in their steam. Grill the shrimps until color changes to pink and keep in the refrigerator to cool completely.
• I love this salad as is for lunch but you can easily bulk it up by serving over a bed of chopped lettuce or salad greens.
