Salad Ingredients

  • 12 cocktail shrimp I estimate 6 per person when shrimps are on the large side.
  • 15 ozs sweet peas
  • 1-2 tbsps thinly sliced red onion
  • sea salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped

Lime Cilantro Dressing

  • 3 tbsps olive oil
  • 2 tbsps fresh cilantro finely chopped

Instructions
 

Assemble Salad

  • Peel and dice the cucumber. Rinse the sweet peas and add to a salad bowl. Add the diced cucumbers on top.
  • Slice onion really thin and add over green peas and cucumber. Add sea salt to taste.
  • Arrange shrimp cocktail on top of veggies. Sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top.

Prepare Lime Cilantro Dressing

  • Squeeze 1 lime. Add juice to a small mason jar. Add olive oil and thinly chopped cilantro. Mix well.
  • Pour dressing over the salad bowl and mix well to incorporate the flavors.
  • Garnish salad as needed with lime wedges or more cilantro. Enjoy!!

Notes

I use cocktail shrimp, already chilled. It helps put this salad together super fast. Keep leftovers of this salad in the refrigerator, don't leave them in the counter. Make sure you rinse cilantro and let it air dry before using.
