This salad right here…. where do I begin? Because all that is happening here, all of these tasty elements coming together in one sweet n’ savory Asian-inspired shrimp salad, it’s heaven on earth you guys.   Heaven. on. earth. There’s just something about this combination of tart citrus, sweet mango, creamy avocado, crunchy red bell peppers, and bright edamame that just sings to me. All of that would be enough to make me one happy salad-eater but that’s only the half of it because SHRIMP that has been marinated in a sweet and savory sesame ginger sauce that DOUBLES AS A SALAD DRESSING (<— yes, all caps are necessary) ?!?! That right there is the real kicker that makes this salad completely irresistible. It’s only Wednesday but this salad will make any day feel like a Friday. Promise. And at the very least, it’ll give you the motivation to get through to the weekend. Of course if it already is the weekend when you make this salad, it’ll make it feel like a four-day Holiday weekend and heaven knows we could all use a few more of those, am I right?
