I made this salad without the shrimp as a side for our grilled chicken the other night - I'm not a dill fan normally and I'm not sure why I decided to even make this salad, but I'm so glad I did...it's delicious! Fresh, crunchy, a little tangy, flavorful and colorful - and the dill totally works without being obnoxiously overpowering. It's a winner. Totally stands alone as a side salad, add shrimp or other protein for a complete salad.
Ingredients ~
for shrimp:
- 12 oz. frozen peeled and deveined cooked tiny shrimp, thawed
- 3 T. lemon juice, divided (that means you don't use it all at once)

- 1/2 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt

- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
For shrimp: in a medium bowl toss together shrimp, 1 T. lemon juice, 1 T. dill, and oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
