A Southeast Asian chopped salad bursting with flavor. 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.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 12 medium shrimp

  • 1 cup matchstick-cut Granny Smith apple

  • 1 cup matchstick-cut jicama

  • ½ cup matchstick-cut carrots

  • 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

  • 2 sprigs cilantro

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. Rinse shrimp with cold water to cool completely. Peel, devein, and slice shrimp in half lengthwise; set aside in a bowl.

  3. Toss apple, jicama, and carrots together in a large bowl.

  4. Place mint leaves, olive oil, sugar, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and lemongrass in a food processor. Pulse until blended but slightly chunky, about two 10-second intervals.

  5. Pour dressing over apple mixture; toss until well mixed. Cover salad and shrimp separately with plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to serve.

  6. Mix shrimp into salad before serving; garnish with cilantro.
