Shrimp Salad

4 servings

30 minutes

Shrimp salad is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the freshness of greens, the tenderness of shrimp, and the spiciness of the dressing. Its origin is linked to Europeans' love for seafood and healthy eating. Salad leaves add lightness, avocado provides a creamy texture, and cherry tomatoes add a sweet tang. The dressing made from mustard, garlic, wine vinegar, and olive oil adds depth of flavor while balsamic sauce finishes the composition with subtle sweet-sour notes. This salad is perfect for a romantic dinner, festive gathering, or light summer lunch. The balanced combination of ingredients makes it not only delicious but also healthy.
