Shrimp, Avocado, Mango and Fennel Salad

This is quite possibly my favorite dinner salad: shrimp, avocado, mango, red onion, and fennel with a limey-umami-filled cilantro dressing. Leftovers make an amazing lunch too.

Featured Ingredients

Shrimp is a fantastic source of iodine, providing 161% of the daily value per 4-oz serving, along with at least 10% or more of the daily value of 14 other different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, functional fats, phytonutrients and protein.

A 1-cup serving of mango delivers at least 10% or more of the daily value of 10 different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Mango is a top food source of myo-inositol, an important vitaminlike compound which has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce anxiety.

Fennel, the aromatic edible-bulbed herb with a distinctive flavor similar to licorice and anise, is particularly rich in vitamin K, beneficial phytonutrients such as polyphenols and carotenoids, vitamin C, and dietary fiber.
