Honey Paprika Shrimp, Avocado and Mango Salad

As the weather warms up, I start craving fresh and colorful salads that are a total palate party and easy to prepare! Salads that are both; refreshing and hearty and literally awaken and play with all your senses. One such salad is this Thai-inspired Shrimp and Mango Salad, except I had to make a few tweaks, that in my humble opinion; further enhance the bold flavors happening here! Insert creamy avocado chunks, a generous sprinkle of sumac, pickled red onions, and a honey paprika marinade or rub on the shrimp. Can’t compete with these delicious ingredients that together orchestrate a winning bowl.

Best Lentil Soup Recipe

Let’s talk about this lentil soup, shall we? Five words: NOT your average lentil soup.

It feeds a crowd, costs close to nothing, is pretty effortless to whip up AND doesn’t taste like your standard vegetarian or vegan fare. I always jokingly said that if I was to become a full-on vegetarian; I would absolutely cook a lot of Mediterranean and Indian-inspired dishes. Why? because they’re rich, vegetable-loaded, and you don’t feel deprived at all. This little recipe checks ALL those boxes and then some. I am beyond confident it will quickly become a part of your weekly dinner rotation!
