Spring salads are in full effect my friends. Fresh produce is in abundance in the markets and every time I see avocados it’s impossible to not grab several.

Now, I’ll admit I’m spoiled with avocados year round in Southern California. But if avocados are more of a seasonal item where you live here’s what you do. Grab several, along with spinach, asparagus, spring onions, a few other ingredients and wild shrimp. Then, whip up this shrimp, asparagus and avocado salad! It’s simple, light, creamy, healthy and oh, so tasty.
