Fresh Friday Farmers Market ~ Shrimp, Mango, Avo Salad for Dinner

Posted by on Aug 27, 2010 in Lunch, Other Stuff, Recipes, Salads | 1 comment

Friday has become my favorite day of the week, not because its the end of a work week for most, but because its farmer’s market day.  Each kids gets $2 and they both spent it wisely.  A cantaloupe and a pint of strawberries.  Part of my list was greens, a mango, avocado, and some goat cheese.

I came across a recipe for Shrimp, Mango and Avocado Salad with Sweet Chili-Ginger Vinaigrette and decide that is was a must for my calendar of “dinner tonight“.  I added the goat cheese, because, well, it’s goat cheese.  I can’t think of a better reason.  It’s just goat cheese, and its delectable.  I can’t stand working with mangos.  They are slimy, and slippery, and I am shocked I haven’t cut my hand off this season.  But, the one I got was perfect.  The avocado, not so much.

The salad was worth the hard avocado.  It was wonderful and delicious.  I left nothing for anyone else to try.  Sorry, but this one is for me.
