Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the mixed salad greens, ensuring they are free of excess water. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Arrange the shrimp, crab meat, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, avocado, and red onion over the salad greens in an even layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the chopped dill, chopped parsley, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients without breaking apart the avocado or delicate greens.
Garnish with the drained capers for a burst of salty flavor and serve immediately.
