Shrimp & Avocado Citrus Salad

Tossing the diced avocado with lime juice the moment it's cut is what keeps it from browning before the salad is served.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 grapefruit, segmented
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for dressing)
  • 1 tbsp honey-style syrup or allulose

Method

  1. 1

    Season shrimp with salt and pepper, cook in olive oil 2-3 minutes per side until pink, let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    As soon as the avocado is diced, toss it immediately with lime juice — the acid coats the cut surface right away and is what keeps it from browning, so don't let it sit exposed first.

  3. 3

    Segment the grapefruit by cutting away the peel and pith, then slicing between the membranes.

  4. 4

    Whisk remaining olive oil and allulose for a light dressing.

  5. 5

    Toss greens with dressing, top with shrimp, avocado, and grapefruit segments.
