The first time I made this Shrimp, Avocado, and Mango Salad, it didn’t include fennel. I found myself trying to get a little bit of shrimp, a little bit of avocado, and a little bit of mango onto each forkful, just so I could get all three flavors all at once (drenched in the limey-umami-filled cilantro dressing, of course). But something was missing. And I completely randomly announced to my company “this needs fennel”.

I was right. Adding shaved fennel bulb lent this salad a much needed crunchy texture, but it also contributed a perfect flavor to bring all the other competing flavors together. This is quite possibly the best dinner salad I’ve ever eaten (leftovers were pretty amazing for lunch too!).
