It has been extremely busy these weeks. Holidays, family and the last couple weeks of school has all piled on top. I feel like I have everything under control, but it seems like there is always something adding on to my schedule. This salad, however, has been on my to do list for a few weeks now, and I finally got around to posting it.

If you love shrimp, then this is a perfect salad to take with you to work for lunch. Shrimp is filled with a good source of protein, vitamin b12 (help with memory loss), selenium (keeping a healthy immune system). Grapefruit is another ingredient that contains an abundance of health. The vitamin C in grapefruit fights skin cancer and because of the vitamin A, the skin is healthy and hydrated. Cilantro contains vitamin A also and has 16% of the recommended value of vitamin K which is needed for bone health.

What will we need to make this salad?

  • shrimp
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • avocado
  • grapefruit
  • spinach

For the cilantro dressing:

  • olive oil
  • lemon juice
  • garlic
  • cilantro
  • salt
  • honey (or maple syrup)
