Method
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and finely chopped red onion. Set the dressing aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, flaked salmon, diced avocado, diced cucumber, and diced tomatoes (if using).
- Pour the prepared dressing over the seafood and vegetables. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
💡 Tips
- For best results, use cooked shrimp and salmon that are at room temperature or slightly chilled.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, simply omit the sour cream and add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise.
- Let the salad chill for at least 20 minutes; the flavors intensify as it sits.
