Shrimp Avocado Salad

For lunch today I had planned to have THIS meal, but my shrimp didn't thaw in time, so I decided to have it tomorrow. Confused? Well apparently meat not thawing in time is my thing and the chicken I wanted to have for dinner didn't thaw in time so shrimp was up! Chicken will probably just be tomorrow dinner. This. Was. Amazing.

 Ingredients:
  • Dressing
  • 1 Tablespoon of juice from thawing shrimp
    • 1/2 Cup mayo
    • 1 12 oz bag of frozen cooked shrimp
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 1/4 Cup chopped red onion

Directions:
  • Thaw shrimp in a strainer over a bowl
  • Wisk Dressing ingredients together
  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl, until covered in dressing
  • Serve as a side or a meal!
I was actually running late to go couponing with my mom so I ate a bowl of this, and just this and it was completely satisfying! Covered my major food groups; fats, meat, and veggies! :)

Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad

I had been reminiscing about a particular pasta salad that I loved, and I thought I could make something like that... no not just like it... BETTER!!! It was much better, just amazingness on my tongue! This is good by itself or as a side dish.

I had this, 2 deviled eggs and a golden delicious apple for lunch, I realized when I looked down I had NO meat on my plate! So I took two slices for ham and ate them too! I think an good addition to this would be some cubed mozzarella, if only i had some!
