    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced avocado, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.

  1. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, stirring occasionally.

Dressing Preparation

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

Assembly

    Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from heat and let them cool slightly. Add the shrimp to the salad bowl with the mixed greens. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately while the shrimp are still warm.
