Shrimp and Avocado Taco Salad for Two
Cook's notes: Ingredients can easily be increased to serve more. 
I found this Cilantro and lime ranch dressing that has a robust flavor that will brighten up any of your southwest salads. You can also use it to season chicken breasts by brushing it on before baking or also terrific as a topper for quesadillas or nachos. And it is Gluten Free! You can easily find similar products on the shelf.
