Happy February! How can it be February already? It’s hard to believe that we’re already in the second month of the year. Time is flying by! I think February is a great month to reset/restart those intentions/goals you created in January that for some reason you gave up or just didn’t plan well to stick with your New Year’s resolutions. I totally believe that what makes us successful or not is determination, persistence and perseverance. Some days will be harder than others. You will think that “I should give up”, “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not strong enough”, I can’t do that” and so on. But the truth is: every single minute is presenting you with a new chance and a new opportunity to start again whatever you set your intentions for.

That’s why I love February, not to mention it’s the month when my father, sister and son were born. So, I have lots of reasons to celebrate this month. And you? What do you think about February and this idea of putting in action again your goals for the New Year? One of my goals for 2018 was to drink more water and I’m definitely not paying attention to this. So, I’m already planned to buy a nice big bottle of water to stay with me wherever I go. I think if I see the bottle of water on my side I’ll drink it more. Let’s see how it goes.

Another goal of mine was to eat healthier than I was eating in 2017. I planned to do this by eating at least one bowl of salad a day and so far so good! That’s why you’re seeing lots of salad recipes on this blog lately.

So, today I’m sharing my newest favourite salad recipe, which is this Shrimp Avocado and Cucumber Salad. There is something about this combo (shrimp + avocado + cucumber) that is out of this world. Avocado is great with anything really, but with shrimp is my favourite and I think it’ll become your favourite too.

This Shrimp Avocado Cucumber Salad is loaded with tomatoes, cucumber, red bell peppers, avocado and sautéd shrimp. Also, it’s tossed with a very light and fresh lemon dressing. This is a very delicious salad to make and enjoy all year around.
