Salad Ingredients

  • 1 head Green Leaf Lettuce cleaned and chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil to make croutons
  • 2 cups Cubed bread or Baguette ½ inch cubes
  • ½ teaspoon Salt for croutons
  • 2 teaspoon Dry Herb Blend
  • ⅓ cup Slivered Almonds
  • 1 piece Green Apple
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Chives finely chopped
  • ½ cup Cucumber thinly sliced
  • 200 grams Cooked Salad Shrimp thawed and drained

Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions
 

  • Before assembling the Apple Almond Shrimp Salad, you want to make sure that you have all of the toasted and pan roasted elements done so that they have a chance to cool down. If using cooked frozen salad shrimp, make sure they are completely thawed by running cold water over them. Pat them dry and keep cool before adding to salad.
    200 grams Cooked Salad Shrimp
  • Cut up sourdough bread or baguette in half in cubes. Drizzle olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the cubed bread to the pan. Drizzle a little more oil over the cubes and sprinkle with the salt and herb. Toss the croutons around until toasted on all side.
    2 tablespoon Olive Oil , 2 cups Cubed bread or Baguette , ½ teaspoon Salt, 2 teaspoon Dry Herb Blend
  • Remove the croutons from pan and use the same pan to toast the slivered almonds. Add the almond to the pan without any oil. Toss the almond around in the pan until lightly toasted. Remove from the pan to cool.
    ⅓ cup Slivered Almonds
  • Make the salad dressing by combining together, the olive oil, cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, Dijon, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
    3 tablespoon Olive Oil, 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar , 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Clean and chop up the green leaf lettuce, then setting it aside. Cut the cucumber up in small pieces. Before assembling the salad, chop up the apples into small cubes or matchsticks.
    1 head Green Leaf Lettuce , 1 piece Green Apple , ½ cup Cucumber
  • Bring all the elements of the salad together in a larger bowl. Keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy. Serve the dressing on the side or drizzle half of it over the salad right before serving to prevent any wilting or soggy croutons.
    2 tablespoon Fresh Chives
