![]() Make bowls, drizzle with more dressing if you'd like, and eat! So now! Roasted veggies, cooked shrimp and croutons, and greens. You could also use heartier kale for this and massage the dressing into the kale in advance so it softens somewhat. and drizzling a bit of dressing over the greens. Other prep includes searing the shrimp (I toss them with spices and olive oil first) for about a minute on each side. Turn the heat OFF and toss the parmesan with the bread, then let the croutons cool while you finish the salads. Toss the bread in the butter for about 10 minutes to toast the croutons, then sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and some parmesan. Add the bread cubes with butter to a skillet over medium heat. While the veggies are working, make the croutons. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast the veggies for 20 minutes until they're golden at the edges. ![]() To work on the cooked parts of the salad, preheat the oven to 400F and arrange the tomatoes and broccolini on a small baking sheet. This is also a great marinade for chicken.įor the rest of the salad, we have mixed lettuces, broccolini and tomatoes, shrimp with spices, and cubed bread. I love that this is super tangy and just barely creamy from the parmesan and olive oil, but has a mostly vinaigrette feel. Shake! Taste, add more salt and pepper to your preference. You can absolutely skip the thyme if you don't have any the dressing is perfect without it. The dressing and croutons can definitely be made in advance - maybe during a meal prep afternoon! I start with the dressing, which is made with lemon juice, anchovy paste, garlic, parmesan, olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, and salt and pepper. The components we need to work on here are: dressing, roasted veggies, seared shrimp, croutons. The whole thing together is really perfect, balanced, and feel-good without being sad-healthy, my least kind of healthy food. We roast tomatoes and broccolini, sear shrimp, toast croutons, and shake up a super rustic Caesar dressing with tons of lemon and fresh thyme. This Lemon Thyme Shrimp Caesar Salad is SO good, and definitely feels like real cooking, which I like (rather than opening a bag of salad greens and throwing on some dressing that has definitely been in the fridge for multiple moves but it's not bad so we keep moving it). Although I have a salad coming soon that is basically a bowl of greens, so ignore everything I say. This is about the way I love to eat salads! Requirements are: flavor, protein, and enough ingredients that I'm not. I have been SO anxious about this recently, the fear that she'll hate her body and spend her whole life trying to make it look different the way, well, everyone I know does.īut this isn't about that. If I do nothing in life, it will be to teach Beck just how to eat like a person for how she feels, and disregard any internal or external pressure to look a certain way. These salads? NOT the TGIFriday's sadclownface Caesars with goopy dressing that I ate in high school "for something light." Ugh. I think it would also be delicious with wheat berries or quinoa.Ok I will not shout anymore. This recipe uses spelt, but you could use your favorite whole grains. I'll do a post on grains in the Instant Pot later. But since this is not really an Instant Pot recipe, I left the original instructions. I actually cooked my spelt in the Instant Pot, because I do everything in my Instant Pot. ![]() ![]() It was as good on the fourth day as it was on the first making it perfect for healthy make ahead! The first day with rotisserie chicken legs, the next two days - I added shredded rotisserie chicken breasts to the salad, and on the fourth day, we had the last of it with a sandwich. It has dark leafy greens, whole grain spelt, dried cranberries, and toasted walnuts!īesides all the goodness packed into this one salad, it also lasts for days! We had it for 4 days in a row. It's not difficult, but when I find a multi-tasker, like this Kale and Spelt Salad, it makes me very happy! I found it in The Vegetable Butcher. So far, I've been enjoying this Arugula Salad with Pears and Prosciutto and this Broccoli Quinoa Salad (which contains a basic formula for making a grain salad.) Oh, and lots of olive oil and small amounts of healthy nuts. Basically half of my meal is fruits and veggies, a fourth is whole grains, and a fourth is a protein of some sort. I am following my version of the Mediterranean diet. Raise your hand if you have vowed to eat healthier in the new year? Yeah, me too. ![]() Post may contain affiliate links, full disclosure on sidebar.Ĭlick here to pin this Kale Salad with Whole Grains now!
