Light salad with shrimps and avocado

As always with salads, it's most practical to start with the dressing. Take some fresh herbs - say, cilantro, parsley, dill, green onions, or whatever you have on hand - and chop them finely. Squeeze in garlic, combine with the other dressing ingredients, and mix thoroughly.

Combine salad leaves, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes (or a regular tomato, chopped not too large), and shrimp in a bowl. Pour in the dressing, mix all the salad ingredients together, plate them up and garnish before serving. For example, with herbs. Or pine nuts. Or hard cheese. In general, come up with something interesting.
