Salad:

  • 4 Large fresh cooked shrimp (peeled)
  • 12 oz Spinach, fresh or bagged
  • 1 cup Fresh basil, roughly chopped if the leaves are large
  • 1 Ripe papaya, peeled and sliced (seeded)
  • 1 Tomato, sliced
  • 1 Cucumber (peeled and julienned)

Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons Thick coconut milk (take from the top of the can)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon Chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce

Salad:

  1. Peel shrimp and boil in water for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and firm (well done). Drain and set aside.
  2. Wash and spin dry spinach. Place in a bowl and sprinkle in the fresh basil.
  3. Arrange the papaya, tomatoes, cucumber, shrimp over the spinach.

Dressing:

  1. Combine all dressing ingredients and stir well until coconut milk is fully dissolved.* Taste test the dressing. It should be tangy and a little spicy. If you find it too sour, add a little more sugar according to your taste. If too sweet, add more lime juice.
  2. When ready to serve:
  3. Either toss the salad with the dressing, or serve the dressing on the side.

**Feel free to drizzle salad with more OLIVE OIL if desired :)

***Optional garnish: Add a few edible flowers, such as Nasturiums or Pansies. But not SWEET PEAS, they're not edible.

Servings: 4

Preparation time: 20 minutes
