Ingredients

FOR THE SALAD
  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled, deveined and tails off
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup Persian or English cucumbers chopped
  • 1 Hass avocado sliced
  • 6 lices of bacon
  • 3 hard boiled eggs quartered
  • ⅓ cup red onion sliced thin
  • ⅓ cup blue cheese crumbled
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
FOR THE DRESSING

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the dressing ingredients to a bullet blender cup or immersion blender.
  2. Pulse until well combined and emulsified. Then set aside and allow the flavors to meld while you make the salad. If you don't have either, you can use a whisk and small mixing bowl instead.
  3. Add the bacon to a skillet and fry until crisp.
  4. Remove and set aside to cool, then once it’s cool enough to handle, crumble it into small pieces.
  5. Leave behind about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease, add in the shrimp and pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes on each side or just until they turn pink, then remove and set them aside.
  6. Add the cooled shrimp and chopped romaine lettuce to a large serving platter or bowl.
  7. I like to add all the ingredients in small clusters, but you can also add them in vertical strips if you’d like.
  8. Add in the cucumber and tomatoes. Then add the hard boiled eggs, bacon and red onion.
  9. Next, add the blue cheese and avocado. Pour the dressing over the top and serve.
