3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
2 cups barley
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved

  • Rinse barley, and place in a small bowl. Cover with water by about two inches, and let soak for about an hour. Drain. Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, and honey in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.) Bring broth and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a large heavy saucepan. Stir in barley, reduce heat, cover, and boil until tender but still firm to bite, about 20 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large wide bowl. Mix tomatoes, feta, basil, green onions,shrimp and spinach into barley. Could also be served on top of spinach but I like it mixed in because it wilts a bit. Add vinaigrette -toss to coat.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 c medium cooked shrimp - tails removed
1/2 c thin sliced celery
2 hard boiled eggs - chopped and only one of the yolks
2 Tbsp minced, red onion
2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
pinch dried dill
pinch salt & pepper
mixed greens to serve over
DRESSING
1/2 c mayonnaise
2 Tbsp ketchup
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 - 1 1/2 tsp dill or sweet relish

Steps:

  • 1. Place all salad ingredients in a bowl and toss.
  • 2. Whisk the dressing ingredients until well combined. Pour over shrimp mixture and toss to coat well.
  • 3. Refrigerate to chill for a few hours. Serve over a bed of lettuce.
  • 4. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should have a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of ingredients in your shrimp salad. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include celery, red onion, avocado, cucumber, and tomatoes.
  • Add a dressing to your shrimp salad. This will help to bind the ingredients together and add flavor. Some good options include mayonnaise, yogurt, or a vinaigrette.
  • Serve your shrimp salad immediately. Shrimp salad is best when it is fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.

Conclusion:

Shrimp salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find a shrimp salad that you will love.
