Avocado Chopped Salad with Shrimp

I have had this recipe on my pin board for months and finally tried it..... it was very good and makes a large amount.  If only cooking for 1-2 I would cut the recipe in half.  I found this recipe here. She also offers a recipe to serve the chopped salad with a potato gallette instead of the shrimp so check that out if you are not into seafood.  

AVOCADO CHOPPED SALAD

with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette



For the vinaigrette:
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste
Whisk all ingredients together and set aside for flavors to blend.
1/4 cup diced cilantro
2 large ripe Haas avocados
1 medium ripe tomato
2 green onions, thinly sliced
For salad:
Chop avocados and tomato into small pieces.
Strain vinaigrette to remove lime zest. Stir in cilantro.
Toss all vegetables and vinaigrette together.
** I topped our salad with grilled shrimp that had been seasoned with only Paprika! Delicious!
