How to make Avocado Mango Salad with Grilled Shrimp


Preheat gas grill to high.

Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients (except oil) in a blender and blend until smooth. While blender is running, remove lid and pour in oil in a steady stream. Continue blending for several seconds, then remove and set aside.
