Now that our weather is beginning to crank up, I've been making more fresh salads than hot meals for our dinners at home. Last week was all about poke bowls and today, I am switching it up with a grilled shrimp mango avocado salad that's chockful of delicious flavor and texture.

Salads such as my Chinese chicken salad with Asian sesame dressing and Thai chicken salad with spicy peanut dressing not only require minimal time to put together, but they're also a delicious way to get my bod beach-ready in time for summer. 🙂

Mango Avocado Salad with grilled shrimp 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 which makes it perfect for serving a crowd.

It's a great meal on its own but it's equally amazing as a side dish for your favorite BBQ meats.

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, but it's also packed with nutrients that are good for you!

Honey-Lime Dressing

This salad dressing is so easy to make with only five ingredients yet full-on flavor. Feel free to adjust amounts to suit taste.

  • ¼ cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Cooking Tips

  • 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. You can also drizzle them with lemon juice to retard discoloration.
  • 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 overcook in their steam. Grill the shrimps until color changes to pink and chill in the refrigerator to cool completely.

How to Serve

  • Enjoy on its own as lunch meal or side salad. You can also bulk it up by serving over a bed of chopped lettuce or salad greens.
  • The salad is best enjoyed freshly prepared as the cucumbers tend to lose texture and the avocados begin to brown over time.
  • If making ahead for a party, store separately from the dressing and toss together when ready to serve.

    Omg that looks so good. Shrimp and avocado is my favorite two things in a salald or I can just eat them anytime 🙂 I am not a huge fan of mangos, but I think it adds the flavor to this one!

      Yes, the mangoes definitely add loads of flavor but the salad would still be delicious without it!
