Chopped Salad With Shirmp and Curry Dreassing

Cut salads of all kinds are always a huge success, and it certainly offers well! Packed with highly nutritious ingredients like purple kale, Napa cabbage, shrimp, avocado and pepper, it is an easy way to find out what Paleo is all about and get back to basics with your diet.
We decided to crown this salad with a creamy dressing coconut curried nuts. The dressing has a nice kick and adds a beautiful part of healthy fats in coconut milk. We also found that mango salad in contrast especially well with the dressing. Or course, if you are not a fan of curry spices, you can always replace with another house dressing. This almond vinaigrette and spicy dressing are both great options.
Enjoy this refreshing salad outside on a hot and sunny day, or do the work by bringing some of the vinaigrette in a separate airtight container.
