1/2 avocado (peeled and sliced) |

1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon white vinegar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon mustard |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 head lettuce, shredded |
3 eggs, hard-boiled |
1/2 lb shrimp, cooked |
Directions:
1. Place rice in large bowl. Add apple, avocado, pimiento and peas.
