Shrimp and Mango Salad with Tahini Dressing
Sunny days require sunny foods that are bright and colorful. This crisp shrimp and mango salad is all you need for a fresh, spunky and easy meal this season. By using precooked shrimp, you can make this salad in 5 minutes. The dressing is creamy thanks to the tahini but very light and subtly flavored.

Nice twist on a thai salad…the tahini would go wonderfully in the dressing. It's gonna be hot today and this salad would be just perfect.

Such a lovely combination in a salad, Nisrine. There were some lovely mangoes in the market yesterday too! I think this salad is in my future.

You realize that every recipe that has Tahini in the title, I'm going to want it?

Oh these shrimps look so soft and refreshing. I never tried tahini with fish – there is always a first time, right?

I would never have though to pair tahini with mango and shrimp, but why not? In my experience, tahini makes everything better!
