Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

½ lb private selection argentine shrimp, frozen
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic, minced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon lemon zest
4 cups mesclun greens
½ cup quinoa, cooked
½ cup cherry tomato, halved
½ cup avocado, diced
¼ cup chickpeas, roasted
2 tablespoons scallions, sliced, white part only
1 tablespoon shallot
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
kosher salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Add the shrimp to a mesh strainer set in a bowl of cool water and let sit for about 10 minutes to defrost.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the defrosted shrimp, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.
  • Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 1 minute on each side, until pink, opaque, and firm. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
  • Make the vinaigrette: In a liquid measuring cup, combine the shallot, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until fully incorporated. While whisking, slowly stream in the olive oil until completely emulsified.
  • To assemble the salad, add the mesclun greens to a large bowl. Top with the cooked shrimp, quinoa, cherry tomatoes, avocado, chickpeas, and green onions. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, then toss to combine.
  • Enjoy!

I'm sorry, but this salad was just not good. The shrimp were rubbery and the avocado was mushy. The dressing was also very watery.

This salad was a waste of time and ingredients. The shrimp were overcooked and the avocado was brown. The dressing was also very oily.

This salad was just okay. The shrimp were a bit overcooked and the avocado was not very ripe. The dressing was also a bit too tangy for my taste.

This shrimp and avocado salad is a refreshing and delicious summer dish. The shrimp are seared to perfection and the avocado adds a creamy richness. The dressing is light and tangy, and the salad is topped with crispy bacon and crumbled feta cheese.
