Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 lb fresh shrimp, cooked and peeled

Fruits

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 4 cups mixed greens (lettuce or spinach)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Begin by cooking fresh shrimp in boiling water until pink and opaque, about 2–3 minutes. Drain well and let cool before chopping into bite-sized pieces if large.
  2. Chop the Fruit and Vegetables: Dice ripe mango and fresh pineapple into evenly sized chunks, slice red onion thinly, and roughly chop cilantro leaves. Wash and drain mixed greens thoroughly.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to your liking for the perfect tangy balance.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, toss the shrimp, mango, pineapple, mixed greens, red onion, and cilantro together.
  5. Dress and Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately while fresh and vibrant.

Notes

  • Choose ripe mangoes and pineapples that are fragrant and slightly soft for maximum sweetness.
  • Don’t overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture; shrimp cooks quickly.
  • Chill the salad ingredients before mixing to enhance the refreshing experience.
  • Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for brighter flavor.
  • Toss ingredients gently to avoid bruising the mango and pineapple pieces.
