Ingredients

  • 12-14 grilled shrimp
  • 2 cups raw broccoli cut into bite size pieces
  • ½ pound roasted asparagus
  • ½ cup shredded red cabbage
  • ½ cup sliced cucumbers
  • ½ cup grape tomatoes halved or quartered
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • ½ cup quinoa cooked and chilled
  • 4 cups spring mix

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. In a large bowl, fill with half ice and water. Cut up the broccoli while you wait for the water to boil. Carefully, add in broccoli and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. The broccoli will become tender and bright in color. Scoop out broccoli with a slotted spoon quickly and immediately move into the ice water, keeping it in there for for about 30 seconds. Drain in a colander and set aside.
  2. Follow linked recipe for the roasted asparagus. Set aside.
  3. Add 2 cups of spring mix to each salad plate/bowl and top with the shrimp, broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, cucumbers, tomato, avocado, and quinoa. Drizzle with lemon dressing and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: This salad will stay fresh for about 2–3 days in the fridge if stored properly. The shrimp is best eaten within 1–2 days for optimal flavor and texture.
