A Southeast Asian chopped salad bursting with exotic flavors. Sweet yet tart. My boyfriend was surprised when I duplicated this salad after we raved about it at a popular restaurant in San Francisco. Enjoy.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 medium shrimp
1 cup matchstick-cut Granny Smith apple
1 cup matchstick-cut jicama

½ cup fresh mint leaves
½ 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

Steps:

  • Bring a small pot of water to boil. Cook shrimp in boiling water until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 3 to 5 minutes; drain.

I'm not a big fan of jicama, but I decided to try this salad anyway. I'm glad I did! The jicama added a nice crunch to the salad, and it wasn't overpowering. The dressing was also very good.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover prawns. I had some cooked prawns in the fridge, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up. The salad was light and refreshing, and the dressing was delicious.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used pre-cooked shrimp to save time, and it still turned out great. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, so I added a little bit of honey to balance it out.
