Grilled shrimp, corn, peppers and zucchini topped with fresh avocado and lime juice – an easy light salad you’ll want to make all summer long.

If you were watching my Instagram stories yesterday, you might recognize this salad I made for lunch. I cooked this on my outdoor grill, but this can also be made on an indoor grill pan (affiliate link). Served warm, I simply drizzle this with a little lime juice on top, but balsamic would also be a delicious alternative.
