Love That Heat! Chipotle Shrimp Salad

This super slender shrimp salad packs some heat thanks to a splash of chipotle!

Last night we splurged and went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, and was it worth the calorie and pocketbook splurge!

Tonight, we decided to keep it low calorie, after all, that delicious, cheesy Mexican food with this spicy chipotle shrimp salad recipe I found in my Cooking Light magazine.

Looking in the frig, I had bagged salad that had to be eaten, so instead of rice, we turned Cooking Light’s recipe into a shrimp salad recipe.

I topped the bagged salad with grape tomato, sliced green onion, and chopped avocado. Combining light Ranch salad dressing with fresh lime juice and salsa, we really loved this light, healthy meal.
