We must be ready for warmer weather or something because we have been making lots of salads. This chopped Thai shrimp salad is a new favorite!

Packed With Veggies

The best part about this salad is that it is full of colorful fruit and veggies. The most time-consuming part about making this chopped Thai shrimp salad is prepping the mango, kale, cabbage, bell pepper and carrots. It is so worth it though once you see the beautiful array of colors!

All Prep – Short Cook Time

Chopping up all the veggies is really the hardest part, and once the veggies are chopped and the salad dressing is made, all that is left to do is assemble the salad and cook the shrimp. And cooking the shrimp takes just a few minutes!

That means that you could easily make the dressing and chop the veggies in advance and then have a super easy weeknight meal on your hands – like 5 minutes or so to get the meal on the table! If you choose to make it all at once you’re still looking at a 30 minute meal, which is great! You could also substitute a different protein for the shrimp, so the possibilities are really endless for this simple and beautiful salad.
