By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Salad can be paired with Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Buena Vista Carneros Chardonnay with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.

Buena Vista Carneros Chardonnay

There's no doubt about the appellation here. The aromas are a combination of lemon drop, green apple, orange blossom, clove, hazelnut screaming Carneros from start to finish. The flavors are lemon lime, apple, pear fruit driven with racy acidity and rich lemon cream and subtle vanilla/spice, which adds more texture. Our 2004 Carneros Chardonnay beautifully conveys site, variety and vintage.

Instructions

1. Wash and cut romaine lettuce and divide between two bowls.

2. Chop bell pepper and spread evenly between the two salads.

3. Make the dressing by blending the ripe avocado with the lime juice, Tabasco, cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and water (start with 1/4 cup and add more until the desired consistency is reached. We kept it pretty thick.) Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon oil. Then add the minced garlic. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the shrimp.

5. Once the shrimp is cooked through, add it to the salads. Divide the dressing between the two salads too. Sprinkle cashews on top if desired.

6. Serve with tortilla chips.
