Grilled Shrimp Avocado Salad

I wanted to mark my come back to the cooking world with a flavorful and fresh salad to complement the summer heat and I could not think of anything better than the Avocado and grilled Shrimp salad.

With the fresh lettuce, perfectly ripe avocados, juicy tomatoes and fresh shrimp…… could not have been any better. The salad was just right for the summer and is a keeper and the highlight of this whole salad is the time it takes to make this, I can say is jiffy!!!

Ingredients:

1 ripened but firm  avocado- cut into cubes

 ½ cup Shredded iceberg lettuce

 2 fresh tomatoes- cut into cubes

Keep all the salad ingredients separate  and refrigerate until ready to eat.
