Mango Shrimp Salad is a vibrant and refreshing dish made with juicy mango, tender shrimp, crisp vegetables, and a zesty citrus dressing. It’s light, healthy, and perfect for warm-weather meals or quick lunches.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced or diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, cubed (optional)
  • 4 cups mixed greens or chopped romaine
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or mint, chopped
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of chili flakes or 1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. If using raw shrimp, boil or sauté until pink and opaque, then let cool. If using pre-cooked shrimp, thaw and pat dry.
  2. Dice mango, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and avocado (if using). Chop the herbs.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, pepper, and chili flakes or jalapeño.
  4. In a large bowl or platter, layer mixed greens, mango, vegetables, shrimp, and avocado.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs or lime wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate and grill the shrimp before adding to the salad.
  • Chop ingredients and prepare the dressing ahead of time, but combine just before serving.
  • Use firm but ripe mangoes to avoid mushy texture.
  • Great served over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a heartier meal.
