Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens as the base.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and add it as well. Finely chop the red onion and add to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Prepare Avocado

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Cut into cubes and gently fold into the salad.

Grilled Shrimp Preparation

  1. 4

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.

  3. 6

    Remove from Grill

    Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the grill and let them rest for a minute before adding to the salad.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Final Assembly

    Combine Salad and Shrimp

    Add the grilled shrimp on top of the salad base and drizzle with the prepared dressing.

  2. 9

    Toss and Serve
