Because it’s summer and because savory fruit salads are definitely a thing, we used some of the season’s greatest hits to prepare this healthy mango, avocado, and shrimp salad. When preparing your salads, take advantage of summer’s abundance and use seasonal foods. They provide us with extra beta-carotene and other carotenoids that help protect us against sun damage.
To make this summery salad, we used mango, which delivers a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes; avocado, rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat; and shrimp, which provide protein and a pretty impressive array of nutrients. Serve it outside, on a picnic table, and with a pitcher of fresh ice-cold lemonade!
