Instructions

If you’re looking for a new salad recipe that’s high in protein and takes under 30 minutes to put together, you’re going to love this one. It’s a take on the flavors and textures of a classic Caesar, but with a lemony avocado dressing and garlic shrimp that take minimal ingredients and time to prepare. Avocados are one of my all-time favorite healthy fats and the perfect base for a creamy dressing like this one. They’re rich in vitamins C, E, K, as well as several B vitamins, and they provide potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants like beta-carotene. Avocados are also high in fiber which, combined with their monounsaturated fats, makes them very satiating and great for blood sugar regulation. Wishing you health and happiness, Mark Hyman, MD
