Shrimp salad

This Week’s Recipe

In the 52 Breakthrough Recipes we plan to post this year, we’ve included five salads.  THe Healthy Change implied a recipe with vitamin D so the beautiful wife suggested a Classic Seafood Salad recipe, which we included in this week’s menu.  Here’s our recipe:

Classic Seafood Salad

Ingredients (feeds 4):

• 8-12 oz. of cooked shrimp
• 4 cups dark greens, washed
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 4 eggs, hard-boiled and quartered
• 2 medium tomatoes, cut into sections
• 1 avocado, sliced

Directions:

1)   This is too easy but always a treat; it can be the only dish if accompanied with bread.  We ate it this week with cheese quesadilla.  Simply arrange the ingredients on a salad plate, artfully.  You can add about any produce you have on hand.  This salad works with almost any seafood; canned tuna is easy on the budget, but we also buy crab when the price is right.

2)   Serve the dressing at the table.  The beautiful wife makes a 1000 Island dressing by combining our homemade chili sauce with ketchup and mayonnaise. 

Please Comment:  Per the request at the top of the page, please tell if you’ve been tested for vitamin D (yes or no), and share the test result, if you don’t mind.
