Shrimp, Pea Shoot, And Quinoa Salad
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa
- 3 oz snow pea blanched and halved
- 7 oz asparagus, cooked, cooled, and cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 oz pea shoots
- 13 oz shrimp cooked
- salt n pepper to taste
- Dressing:
- 2 Tblspns olive oil
- 2 Tblspns lemon juice
- 3 Tblspns dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts chopped and toasted
- 1) Cook quinoa; set aside to cool
- 2) Stir snow peas and asparagus through Quinoa
- 3) Make dressing by mixing together all ingredients
- 4) Spoon pea shoots and shrimp over quinoa, drizzle with dressing.
- **FOR SHRIMP, BULGHUR WHEAT, and NUT SALAD:
- Use 1 1/2 cups bulghur wheat instead of quinoa. For a nuttier dressing
- toast 1/4 cup almonds in pan with hazelnuts.
- **MY CHANGES:
- I couldnt find pea shoots, plus it sounded a little bland so I used
- chopped fresh parsley instead. I also increased the amount of
- dressing, nuts, and cranberries - the nuts n cranberries really make
- the salad with flavor and texture. And I mixed everything together,
- none of that drizzle and spooning nonsense.
