Shrimp-And-Quinoa Layered Salad
- 1 cup uncooked red quinoa
- 1 large carrot, peeled
- 1 small fennel bulb, shaved
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 small red onion, shaved
- Ice water
- 3 cups shredded baby spinach
- 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
- 18 cooked peeled and deveined large shrimp
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Cook quinoa according to package directions. Cut carrots lengthwise into very thin, ribbon-like strips using a vegetable peeler. Combine carrot, fennel, radishes, and onion in a large bowl with ice water to cover; let stand 30 minutes.
- Drain carrot mixture well, and pat dry. Divide cooked quinoa evenly among 6 (16-ounce) wide-mouth canning jars (about 1/2 cup per jar). Top each with about 1/2 cup spinach, 1/2 cup carrot mixture, 2 tablespoons peas, and 3 shrimp. Serve immediately, or cover and chill up to 6 hours.
- Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, dill, mustard, salt, and pepper. Drizzle each chilled salad with about 3 tablespoons of dressing just before serving.
