Shrimp & Crab Ceviche Salad

This chilled seafood salad is bright, fresh and made for warm-weather entertaining. I use cooked shrimp and crab so it comes together easily, then toss everything with lots of fresh lime, crisp vegetables, avocado and herbs.

The recipe

Ingredients

For the Ceviche Salad

For the Citrus Dressing

Method

  1. 1

    Place the shrimp, crab, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro and parsley in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk together the lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and chili flakes.

  3. 3

    Pour the citrus dressing over the seafood mixture and toss gently.

  4. 4

    Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes so the flavors can blend.

  5. 5

    Fold in the avocado just before serving so it stays intact.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust with more lime or salt if needed.

  7. 7

    Serve chilled with tortilla chips, tostadas or crisp lettuce leaves.

Notes

Watch Teresa Make This Recipe

Drain the crab well before mixing so the salad stays bright and fresh rather than watery.
