Shrimp, Avocado, and Mango Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

Bill Harris・Leave a Comment

Shrimp Avocado Mango Salad

My family is visiting for Thanksgiving and I decided that a Wednesday prelude to a total food orgy on Thursday should be a fairly healthy salad. Does anybody remember Green Goddess salad dressing? I’m old enough to remember that it was all the rage in the 70s and 80s. It’s a great dressing but it was sidelined by Ranch dressing later in the 80s. I’m all for a revival of Green Goddess and I’m starting crusade to bring it back! Aside from the fact that it’s made with mayonnaise (which I love), a good recipe contains fresh herbs, including chives, parsley, and tarragon. When blended it turns a very appetizing shade of light green.

The combination of shrimp, mango, avocado, and arugula are the perfect palate for Green Goddess dressing. This salad makes a very healthy and satisfying light lunch.
