Hungry Girl's Mexilicious Shrimp & Corn Fandango Salad

tamheath

Had this last night, and happily having (minus the shrimp) for lunch today! I added some canned tuna for lunch since we ate all the shrimp last night. I took the easy way on a couple things: did not even brown the corn, just added a can of MexiCorn to the bowl. I made a big bowl of salad, so of course didn't exactly double or triple - just threw together. Recommended!

HG Alternative! Sometimes we toss 1/4 cup chopped avocado onto this dish. SO GOOD! Do that and your salad will have 320 calories, 7.5g fat, and 10.5g fiber (POINTS® value 6*). Nice...
