A hearty, delicious, green spinach salad packed with flavor, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. This is the kind of salad that will have you coming back for seconds with a smile on your face.

It has all the stuff you would want, from juicy fruits like pomegranates, pineapple, and persimmons to flavorful vegetables and onions. And it has those healthy, anti­oxidant-rich greens like spinach and kale. But it sure doesn’t taste like what you would expect from something that packs such a health punch. This salad offers great fiesta flavor for a party in your mouth. But let’s talk about the real show stoppers of this salad….the dressing and the shrimp!

The shrimp adds a hearty, succulent, flavor to gets those taste buds dancing. It is really easy to make, and the marinade compliments the flavor of shrimp to bring out all the goodness without it being “fishy”. But, if you do not like shrimp, sub it out for chicken. The marinade would be amazing on chicken as well.

Making the dressing

But this dressing. Now that is what really makes the salad. It is sweet, it is sour, it is rich, it is light, it is a total conundrum to me because it is all things at once. Basically, it is amazing and I could eat it like soup with a spoon. I big old spoon. Plus it is ridiculously easy to make. Another thing to note about this salad is how easy it is to customize. If you do not like pineapple, leave it off. If you want twice as much avocado, add it! It is YOUR salad, own it, make it your own. And LOVE it!

There you have it, a healthy way to enjoy eating salad! I hope you love it as much as we do!
