Method

Preparing the Salad

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the bay shrimp under cold water and set aside. Wash the romaine lettuce and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red onion thinly, and dice the avocado.

  2. 2

    Combine the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, bay shrimp, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, and diced avocado. Add the fresh dill, salt, and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.

Making the Dressing

  1. 3

    Mix the Dressing

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  2. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a little water or more vinegar to reach your desired consistency.
