This is a combination that I created of 3 of my favorite summertime Weight Watchers Salad recipes. It is healthy and yummy! Ingredients:
1/2 cup blood orange juice, freshly squeezed |
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed |
2 teaspoons thyme, fresh chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 lb medium shrimp, deveined, cleaned, patted dry |
1 blood orange, peeled and sectioned |
16 asparagus spears, fresh, washed & cut in half |
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips |
1 cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and sliced |
Directions:
1. Whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, thyme, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Ladle half of the mixture into a second bowl and add Shrimp to original bowl. Toss shrimp until well coated.
2. Steam Shrimp until pink on stove in a steamer basket.
3. Put the cucumber, orange, bell pepper and asparagus in the second bowl and toss to coat evenly.
4. Serve by dividing the vegetable and orange mixture amongst 4 small salad plates. Arrange in an appealing fashion. Add shrimp (dividing by 4) to each plate. I like to garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
5. Enjoy this healthy filling salad for lunch or dinner!
