This Tropical Shrimp Salad with Mango Mint Lime Dressing will make you feel like you’re on a tropical island. Sponsored by Peapod.
Tropical Shrimp Salad with Mango Mint Lime Dressing - you'll think you're sitting on a beach when you take a bite of this tropical theme saladI love going to tropical islands like Hawaii or the Caribbean. There’s something about being surrounded by water, feeling the ocean breeze, and eating all the tropical fruits I can get my hands on. Last summer we celebrated my oldest son’s graduation from college by going to St. Martin, and a few years before that, we were fortunate enough to be able to go to Hawaii with my sister-in-law and her family.

This summer, we won’t be visiting any tropical islands, so when Peapod asked me to create a recipe for a Staycation, I thought of this Tropical Shrimp Salad with Mango Mint Lime Dressing. It reminds of the type of meal I’d order the minute I got on a tropical island – a girl can dream can’t she?

Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to find tropical fruits without going anywhere tropical. In fact, Peapod, the online grocery delivery service, sells all sorts of tropical fruits, including kiwi, mango, papaya, and pineapple.

The Mango Mint Lime Dressing compliments this Tropical Shrimp Salad so well – made with fresh mango, ginger, mint, shallot, honey, fresh lime and orange juice, it’s sweet, tangy, and adds an extra tropical touch to this salad.
