Mango-Shrimp Salad Recipe: Keeps you cool through summer, #LMDConnector

I don’t like using the oven during the summer! It is too hot and I don’t want to be around the heat of kitchen! I want to enjoy the great weather and outdoor activities with my family! Even if I don’t use the oven, there are many non-bake and easy recipes that can keep you cool and healthy! Since we have fresh produce during the summer, one of my favorite meals are the summer salad recipes!  They are so refreshing, easy to make and healthy! There are endless ideas for summer salads. I like adding fruits, nuts and experimenting all sorts of combinations, some of them work, such as the Romaine, strawberry mix and some of them don’t. One day, I mixed  grilled eggplants to my romaine salad. It was a nice looking summer salad recipe but the combination wasn’t that tasteful. I don’t recommend it!

Today, I am sharing with you this delicious summer salad recipe from LifeMadedelicious:  The Mango Shrimp salad recipe.  I have never mixed mango into my salads. I am a huge of fan of this fruit that I can eat two mangos on the row . If you have never tried mango before, you may consider it, especially if you are a sweet tooth. This king fruit has so many nutrients: vitamin C, antioxidants! It is good for the health and tastes so good in your summer recipes. The only thing I dread about mango is how to cut it and shape it! It can be a little messy especially if it is too ripe!
