The end of summer is upon us (-ish), so let’s celebrate all those fresh flavors one last time with this simple Roasted Corn and Shrimp Salad with Avocado Cilantro Dressing. I added some beautiful baby heirloom tomatoes in there and rested all of it on top of a bed of baby mixed greens and arugula.
If you’re firing up your grill for Labor Day, go ahead and skewer all of those shrimp for grilling purposes and throw the corn right on the grill to roast too. Otherwise, you can do it all indoors with a skillet. That’s what I did because it’s approximately one million degrees down at the grill on my pool deck. And the bite-y bugs…I don’t actually think they’re mosquitoes but they bite they heck out of my legs when I grill down there. I’ll just hermit inside with my skillet instead, thanks.
Happy end of summer! Enjoy 🙂
