Shrimp and Green Apple Salad with Lemongrass Dressing
Ingredients
  • 12 medium shrimp
  • 1 cup matchstick-cut Granny Smith apple
  • 1 cup matchstick-cut jicama
  • 1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrots
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chopped lemongrass
  • 2 sprigs cilantro
Instructions
1
Boil a small pot of water to produce a rolling boil. Cook the shrimp in the boiling water until they turn bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes; drain the water.
2
Rinse the shrimp with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down completely. Peel, devein, and slice the shrimp in half lengthwise; place them aside in a bowl.
3
Combine apple, jicama, and carrots together in a large bowl for the salad mixture.
4
Mash mint leaves, olive oil, sugar, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and lemongrass together in a food processor until you get a blended but slightly chunky texture, about two 10-second intervals.
5
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture; toss until everything is well mixed. Cover both the salad and shrimp separately with plastic wrap; refrigerate them until you're ready to serve.
6
Mix the cooked shrimp into the salad before serving; garnish with cilantro.
