This salad is made with avocado, potatoes, shrimp and other vegetables. It's simple to make and delicious.
Four ripe avocados were in the basket in my kitchen for two days while I was trying to figure out what to make with them. I eat so many avocados that sometimes I don't know how to eat them in a different way.
So I decided to make a Potato, Avocado and Shrimp Salad and it was easy and delicious. You can't go wrong adding avocados to a salad!
This salad is perfect for the hot summer days ahead 🙂

Now, this is the kind of potato salad I could eat all summer! It's colorful, creamy and undoubtedly delicious. I love the use of creme fraiche (I need to make some more). This will definitely be found on the table this summer - perfect accompaniment for when we grill outdoors!
