Citrus Shrimp and Avocado Salad

Serving: This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner and can be served as a standalone dish or paired with a side of roasted vegetables or a light soup.
Storage: If prepping in advance, store the shrimp and salad greens separately in airtight containers in the fridge. Assemble and add the avocado and almonds just before serving to maintain freshness. This salad is best served immediately after preparation.
Variations
Add extra protein: For a more filling meal, you can add grilled chicken or salmon to the salad.
Change up the nuts: Instead of sliced almonds, try adding walnuts or pecans for a different crunch.
Make it spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes or drizzle with a spicy dressing for some extra heat.
