hmmmmm... how about a nice summer seafood and asparagus salad?
What you need:
-1 pound asparagus - fresh or i frozen - doesn't really matter but fresh is best. I have tried canned but not really the same
-Lettuce - size depends on how much you want
-1 cup shrimps - 250ml or i guess about 6 to 8 ounces and cut in half length ways. I guess you could also use crab or lobster etc
-2 hard boiled eggs cut in half
-cherry tomatoes cut in half - i recon around a cups worth
-1 smallish cucumber peeled and sliced
-Russian Salad Dressing (i added the recipe below)
What to do:
Cook the asparagus if not tinned till just tender then drain and allow to cool. Put the lettuce in a bowl or on a platter. Put shrimp (or other
seafood i.e. crab or lobster etc) in the center of the bowl or platter and put the eggs, cucumber, asparagus and tomato around seafood. Top with
Russian Dressing or other salad dressing like 1000 islands etc.
You can probably feed about 3-5 depending on portion size. Averages 4.
Russian Salad Dressing
1/4 cup chilli sauce - how hot is up to you but it gives a nice tang - use to taste
250ml (cup) mayo
1 tbs creamed horseradish or other prepared horsradish
1 tsp onion grated or very finely chopped or however you like it hehehe
Mix it all together and just spoon or pour over the seafood.
It really doesn't matter how you intend to present it. You can even chop up the lettuce leaves and mix with the seafood in a bowl and place the
tomatoes, cucumber, eggs and asparagus on the top. You can do just about anything with it. Don't eat TOO cold just slightly chilled to keep it
"fresh" but too cold sometimes does not taste as nice
Enjoyyyyyyy
EDIT: I didn't think of this one myself though pretty simple. I found it some time ago on the net and just saved it and reworded where it didn't
make sense
Think of me when you much it LOL - IF you make it!!
