Seafood Salad

The story behind

This salad is my go-to choice for those hot days when you're just looking for something fresh and nutritious. I love the variety of textures achieved by combining octopus, shrimp, and surimi with the creaminess of avocado. Feels like a true meal by the seaside. It's a simple yet vibrant dish that always brightens the table and is best enjoyed with crispy tostadas.

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, chopped octopus, and surimi.
  2. 2
    Add the diced tomato, onion, and chopped cilantro; mix gently to integrate the colors.
  3. 3
    Carefully fold in the avocado cubes so they don't mash and keep their shape.
  4. 4
    Dress the salad with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. 5
    Mix everything together until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
  6. 6
    Serve in an individual bowl or in the center of the table, garnishing with a fresh cilantro sprig on top as shown in the image.
  7. 7
    Serve with saltine crackers or corn tostadas.
