I made this up at the last minute as a side for a Kentucky Derby party we had last year. Everyone asked for the recipe, so I guess it was pretty good. I believe, if you go light on the olive oil, it is LDL friendly and it's quite delicious. I modified it for a smaller batch since this was made as a side salad for about 40 people. This will serve four as a main. It keeps well too, and you could probably use grilled chicken if you dont like shrimp, just omit the dill.
- 1 lb of fresh peeled deveined shrimp OR 1/2 bag of costco frozen shrimp: cooked, tail off, 51-70 per pound
thaw shrimp, rinse and drain. place in deep saucepan with warmed chicken stock and garlic powder ,"poach" (until shrimp are warmed through but not curled up).
- drain again, pour in to large deep bowl
- add 1 bag baby spinach, rough chopped.
- add 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped.
- add 1 cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped (I like trader joes peppers)
- add 1/4 cup julienned sundried tomatoes, drained and chopped. if they are packed in oil, rinse.
MAKE DRESSING...all goes in to food processor
- big fist plus full of fresh basil
- big fist plus full of fresh dill
- big fist plus full of fresh flat leaf parslety
- tbsp dijon (regular not grainy, unless you like grainy)
- 2 cloves rough chopped fresh garlic
- juice of two lemons or to taste
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
ADD AS MUCH DRESSING AS NEEDED TO SALAD
- add crumbled Athenos(R)Feta cheese (fat free), unless you don't like feta cheese, then leave it out...
