This fresh shrimp salad is so delicious and easy to assemble! Healthy never looked or tasted so good.
If you don’t have or like shrimp, you can use any protein you want. You can also completely omit the protein and have this as a vegetarian salad. I also like to bulk it up by adding fresh baby lettuce or kale. So good! Now let’s get started!
