How To Make shrimp, avocado and tomato salad

    To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the lime juice, cumin, lime zest, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil. Set aside.

    To make the salad, bring a saucepan three-fourths full of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until they curl and turn pink, about 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Peel and devein the shrimp and place in a large non-aluminium bowl. Add half of the vinaigrette to the shrimp, toss well and let stand for 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, halve, pit and peel the avocados and cut lengthwise into slices 1/2 inch thick. Core and halve the tomatoes and cut into wedges 1/2 inch wide. Add the avocados, tomatoes and cilantro to the shrimp and toss gently.
