Shrimp, Avocado and Mango Salad

This salad was an invention of mine to try and copycat the salad that is served at Le Pain Quotidien which is a French franchising restaurant/bakery

The salad is so colorful, tasty and its ingredients are to unique!! I love anything with fruit - mango, pineapple, any fruit!

An original picture of the actual salad comes like this:



So lets get into business and try to make one that tastes the same! of course, we are making it beautiful too!

Shrimp, Avocado and Mango Salad
(serves 2 persons)

Ingredients

12 cooked big shrimps (if you like to add more, please do, it depends on the person)
1 ripe avocado
1 mango
3 tomatoes
Rocket leaves (as desired)
Olive oil
Pinch of salt

Method

First, cut the avocado in half, peel it, remove the pit, and slice it. Reserve in a plate.



Next, peel mango and slice it as desired, depends on how thick you would like to have it.


Now, cut the tomatoes small cube sized pieces and reserve.


In a separate bowl, mix the washed and drained rocket with the salt, olive oil, and lime. Add to it the cooked shrimps, and mix well so that the shrimps are coated in the sauce.



Now the fun part, put all ingredients in your plate. I did this way:
