No time for boring salads here! This romaine salad is loaded with grilled shrimp, corn, tomatoes, avocado and some tortilla chips for crunch. It’s a great salad to enjoy in the summer as most of the cooking can be done on the BBQ if you wish and lots of the ingredients can be found locally. This recipe is great for gluten free, grain free, mental health, diabetes, and low sugar conditions or diets.
