Living here in British Columbia, we can pretty much barbecue all year round, but obviously more so during the warm weather! I love the smell 👃 of food grilling on the “barbie”. Just that alone triggers my appetite, plus the last thing I want is to warm up my kitchen in the middle of the summer.

Another thing in our house that goes on annually is salads… I like making them! It’s a healthy 💚 way to add some good nutrients and vitamins to our diet.

Many people think that salads are boring 🥱… I’m the opposite. I have such a delicious selection of recipes to choose from, like Jicama Mango Pepper, Crab Louie, Israeli Salad, Julienne, Caesar, Salade Lyonnaise, Waldorf, Bacon Wedge, and so on.

During the summertime, I have a few that are always on my list, such as Moroccan Potato or Creamy Bacon Potato 🥔🥓, my Greek Tuna Pasta Salad, Macaroni Salad, Cran-Apricot California Salad, Creamy Coleslaw, Mixed Tomato, Tabbouleh, etc. Another recipe perfect for this season is my Grilled Shrimp Summer Salad!

This salad is so flavorful! There are cucumber, red pepper, onion, mango, avocado, and of course, prawns 🍤! I also make a lovely dressing for it using my Sweet Chili Sauce recipe.

Before the shrimp go on the BBQ, I brush on a flavorful basting sauce made with butter 🧈, my homemade Fish Rub, and hot sauce which I’m particular about it – I like to use Frank’s Chili Lime, which gives a beautiful taste.

Many of the ingredients listed for the Grilled Shrimp Summer Salad can be substituted. The lettuce can be green leaf, Romaine, iceberg, or even Boston. For the dressing, when it comes to the grapeseed oil, any other flavorless one can replace it, such as Canola, Safflower, etc. I use honey 🍯, but agave nectar is another delicious alternative. I add dry roasted peanuts to my salad, but if there is someone in your family who is allergic, just omit them; it’s not a big deal!

One ingredient that needs special attention is avocado 🥑. After prepping it and cutting it into cubes, it’s important to toss them with ½ tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice to prevent them from browning. I’m so used to doing it that I forgot to film it, but please don’t forget otherwise, the presentation won’t be as appealing.

This mouthwatering Grilled Shrimp Summer Salad is colorful 🌈, vibrant, and very healthy. I serve it as a meal, and believe me, it’s plenty! If I have to describe this dish, I would say “it’s summer on a plate!”
