I've recently discovered the joys of sweet and fruity salads. It's not that I didn't like them before, it's just that I had never really tried them. That streak is now broken, hallelujah and pass the dried cranberries. Though it's a straight up terrible name, I'm excited for this Apple Cranberry Walnut Salad. Plus, stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow when I make the dressing!
Core and chop apples into thin slices. Toss lettuce, apples, walnuts, feta, and cranberries together in a large bowl.
RP Servings: I cut it down to 2 servings, but the original would probably serve 4.
Stars: 4 stars. Not that it's surprising- these are pretty classic sweet-salad ingredients, but there's a reason for that. It tastes really good, and it somehow seems like you put a lot more work into it than you did. It's a great side dish for dinner or for parties/potlucks.
This is a 21 Day Fix recipe BUT it's also a yummy sounding one! I love all the things in this dish: shrimp, asparagus, tomatoes, garlic... The fact that it is also going to be easy to count is secondary because I am all about good food. In fact, when Ryan was looking at our joint calendar on Trello, she made a note on this card: "OH MY GOSH! I WANT TO EAT THIS!" Of course, since it's dinner and you know the hubby has made me swear to only make good dinners, you know it'll be good (even if I have to doctor it!).
I'm using rice instead of pasta, because I'm heading out of town for a couple of days and GF pasta doesn't do well left over.
We both had a lot of green (veggie) containers left, so I am throwing spinach in this for extra yumminess!
I&apos;m doing the order a little differently then the original. Add the oil to a pan and heat on medium. When hot, add the garlic and cook 30 seconds or so, until fragrant. Add the asparagus and cook about 3 min (depending on the size of the asparagus).
I pushed the asparagus to the edges and added the shrimp, cooking until just pink. Turn halfway through. Sprinkle with a very little sea salt, and pepper.
Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook until the spinach is wilted, about a minute.Squeeze lemon over everything and mix it up.
Serve over pasta (or rice!). Top with crumbled goat cheese.
RP Servings: you can make this for however many you need. I made about 2 1/2 servings so my hubby would have leftover shrimp for tomorrow. That was 1 lb of shrimp, 1 lb of asparagus (using the tender part of the stalks, about half of each).
The goat cheese makes this! It's good without it, but the goat cheese puts it into the "yum" category. There's not much sauce here, but the softened tomatoes and lemon juice help - and I think my addition of spinach also gave it some moisture. If you aren't doing 21 Day Fix, I'd add a little chicken broth. Also, we think it's probably better over rice since there's not much sauce... with pasta I think it would seem a bit dry.
