olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier while vegetable oil is less expensive.

Grill 1 pound of shrimp on the grill until cooked, about 2-3 minutes.

In a food processor, combine 1 avocado, 1 cup Greek yogurt, fresh chives, fresh parsley, and 2 cloves garlic. Process until smooth.

Add milk to the mixture to achieve a dressing-like consistency, starting with a couple of tablespoons and adjusting as needed.

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a bowl, combine the grilled shrimp, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped celery.

Pour the dressing over the shrimp and vegetables and mix well.

Serve the mixture over a bed of mixed greens and top with additional chopped avocado and dried dill for garnish.
