Fast California Salad Recipe

I had a salad very similar to this at a restaurant with a friend recently who proclaimed it her “new favorite!” I love the combination of sweet and salty. I honestly threw this together (for just me – great way to take care of #1!) in 10 minutes or less. The key is (obviously) to have all the ingredients on hand. Enjoy!

Romaine or field greens

Large frozen cooked shrimp (5-6 per person)

Mandarin oranges (canned)

Fresh strawberries (3-4 per person)

Blue cheese crumbles

Sugared pecans, chopped

Balsamic vinaigrette

Thaw shrimp as per package directions.

Sprinkle thawed shrimp with seafood seasoning (Old Bay or other)

Spray frying pan with olive oil (Pam or similar) and sauté shrimp until warm.

Place washed greens in bowl.

Slice strawberries and add to greens with drained mandarin oranges, blue cheese and chopped pecans. Add shrimp. Drizzle with balsamic (or your favorite) vinaigrette and you are good to go!

Enjoy!
