Thai-Lime Pasta Salad with Shrimp

Thai-Lime Pasta Salad with Shrimp

Thai-Lime Pasta Salad with Shrimp has colorful collection of flavorful ingredients. The spicy dressing adds a deliciously fresh kick to the dish.

Thai-Lime Pasta Salad with Shrimp

To make it even healthier use quinoa pasta. It looks exactly like your regular pasta and is super tasty. The difference? It leaves you feeling much lighter.

I packed this colorful little salad with mango, avocado, lime, tomatoes, shrimp and a variety of peppers and fresh herbs. That’s a lot of flavor!

If you’re treating your family to this salad on a picnic, pack your dressing and salad separately. You can also pack some raw shrimp separately and cook it on the grill at your location if you prefer. If the kids don’t like too much spice, leave out the cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes.
