Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked and peeled shrimp
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 cup sweet pineapple, diced
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or mint, chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the shrimp: Cook your shrimp by boiling, grilling, or sautéing with light seasoning until pink and opaque. Allow them to cool to maintain the salad’s freshness.
  2. Chop fruits and vegetables: Dice the mango and pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Slice the red bell pepper and thinly cut the red onion. Chop the fresh cilantro or mint to release their aromatic oils.
  3. Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl, gently toss the mixed greens, shrimp, mango, pineapple, bell pepper, onion, and herbs, taking care not to bruise the fruits or greens.
  4. Prepare the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper until well emulsified, creating a bright and zesty dressing.
  5. Dress and serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently. Serve immediately for the freshest flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Choose ripe mango and pineapple for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Add dressing gradually to avoid soggy greens and preserve freshness.
  • Serve the salad chilled to enhance its refreshing qualities and shrimp texture.
  • You can prep the shrimp and chop fruits in advance to save time.
  • Use fresh cilantro or mint for the most aromatic taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days; keep dressing separate until serving.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it alters texture.
  • Reheating is unnecessary and not advised to maintain vibrant flavors.
