Categories     Lettuce Salads

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 heads romain lettuce cleaned and dried
2 15oz can(s) mandarin oranges drained
1/8-1/4 red onion sliced into rings for garnish
1/2-1 lb jumbo shrimp-i use 1 12oz bag 26-30 count
2 3oz bag(s) slivered almonds toasted till golden brown
1-2 avocados-i use haas avocados they have a rich buttery taste
SEE MY RECIPE FOR DEE'S TANTALIZING POPPYSEED DRESSING BELOW
3/4 c white sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/3 c wine vinegar
1 Tbsp red onion juice and pulp-grated and on fine side of grater. the grated onion really pops the taste of this dressing
1 c salad oil
11/2 tsp poppy seeds

Steps:

  • 1. Toss all ingredients except for sliced red onions.
  • 2. Mix all ingredients for poppy seed dressing in blender. Then pour amount you would like on salad and toss again. This poppy seed recipe makes enough for when I triple the recipe to make for church.
  • 3. Put slices of red onion on top for garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose the best mandarin oranges: Look for firm, plump oranges with a deep orange color. Avoid any oranges that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Prepare the oranges properly: Be sure to peel and segment the oranges carefully, removing all of the pith and seeds. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming bitter.
  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp is essential for this salad. If you can't find fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a light dressing: A light dressing is best for this salad. A vinaigrette or citrus dressing will work well.
  • Add some crunchy vegetables: Crunchy vegetables, such as celery, carrots, or bell peppers, will add texture and freshness to the salad.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can either chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, or you can serve it immediately and let it chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Mandarin oranges and shrimp are a classic combination that is perfect for a light and refreshing salad. This salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salad sweet, sour, or spicy, there is a mandarin orange and shrimp salad recipe out there for you.
