It's May and the sun is going to shine this weekend.  That means it's time for all of the spring things. Yard work, spring cleaning and spring salads for dinner on the deck.

So to celebrate we are having Shrimp Salad and Avocado for dinner. When I think of spring and summer food, I think of light and tasty salads and this fits the bill perfectly.

Why this recipe works

A great salad starts with the best ingredients especially when the list is short. For starters, fresh dill is a must, dried will work in a pinch, but when you love dill as much as I do. Fresh is best.

And avocado makes most things better, especially this salad. Make sure to grab one that is ripe but a little firmer so it holds its shape in the salad. Save the soft ones for some guacamole.

Best Shrimp

You aren't going to believe your luck when I tell you I used frozen shrimp from Costco to make this recipe! I bought a two-pound bag of the 50-70 size (cooked, peeled, and tail off)shrimp, thawed half of it and boom, most of the work is done.

Want to feed a bigger group? Simply thaw the whole bag, double the recipe and you have shrimp salad for 8 ready to go in no time.

So good-bye heavy comfort foods of the winter. Hello, tasty shrimp salads of summer, (which are properly enjoyed dining al fresco on the patio with a glass of Rosé, if you must know).
