Avocado-Lime Shrimp Salad (Ensalada de Camarones con Aguacate y Limon)

This easy shrimp salad contains no lettuce. It's perfect for barbeques or as a 'change of pace' dinner side dish. Customize this recipe with your favorite salad dressing in place of the lime juice. The lime gives it a tiny tangy kick.

Ingredients:
 1 1/4 pounds cooked deveined shelled shrimp, tail shells removed
 3 avocados - peeled, pitted and diced
 1 bunch green onion tops, chopped
 3 large red tomatoes, diced
 1 large yellow tomato, diced
 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
 salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
Cut the shrimp into 2 or 3 pieces and place in a large bowl; add the avocado, green onion, red and yellow tomatoes, bell pepper, cilantro, and lime juice; mix. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes before serving.
