Shrimp Avocado Salad is perfect for a quick lunch or supper during the summer. Add to a sandwich, pasta, or atop greens, too! Especially when it is hot and humid in south, I always start craving things that are cool and filling without being heavy and draining.

• 2 pounds boiled or steamed shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 avocados, cut into large pieces

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2. In a 2-cup measuring cup, mix together ingredients for the dressing. Whisk until well-combined.
