It has a lot of fresh greenery, and therefore vitamins. In the recipe, I will show two options for serving this salad. Both are perfect for a festive table.

We take hard, aromatic cheese, it will add a special note to the salad. It is better to choose small cherry tomatoes. They look beautiful, dense, sweet. But, in general, you can replace them with any.

I always take a salad mix with the obligatory presence of arugula, with its characteristic, unique bitterness. Without it, this salad becomes simpler. This time, my mix includes arugula, iceberg lettuce (juicy, crispy) and corn (small leaves collected in inflorescences, does not have a bright taste, but fresh, healthy and beautiful). Balsamic sauce is an important, but still not a mandatory ingredient. It makes the taste of the salad brighter and more interesting, and noticeably so. I recommend adding it.

Ингредиенты

Salad – 100 g mix

Shrimp – 150 g

Apple – 150 g

Cherry tomatoes – 120 g

Cucumber – 80 g

Red onion – 40 g

Hard cheese – 20 g

Apple cider vinegar – 1 tbsp

Olive oil – 4 tbsp

Grain mustard – 1 tsp slightly heaped

Salt – 2 pinches

Black pepper – to taste

Sugar – 2 pinches

Balsamic sauce – optional

Рецепт

1. Rinse the greens thoroughly under running water and dry. If you don't have a special gadget for drying greens (I personally don't have one), then just throw them away and pat dry with paper towels.

2. Finely grate the hard cheese. Thin cheese shavings are also good in the salad.

3. Make a dressing for the green salad. Pour salt and sugar into a jar (or a mug, for that matter) (you can use a spoonful of honey instead of sugar), pour in apple cider vinegar and olive oil, add Dijon, grainy mustard. In no case should we use our simple, spicy mustard, but rather a delicate, French one, and it is very desirable to use grainy. Is it possible to replace apple cider vinegar with another? Of course - balsamic, wine, grape. Olive oil - vegetable, grape seed oil. You can also add a little pesto sauce to the dressing. This is an additional taste and aroma that will be very useful there.

4. Screw the jar on and shake it well for a few minutes. Once a uniform emulsion has formed, the filling is ready. If you are making it in a mug or glass, stir vigorously with a fork.

5. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Cut the cucumber lengthwise and cut into half-slices. If this is not a home-grown cucumber, then I at least partially thinly cut off the skin, since this is where all sorts of chemicals accumulate. I also cut it off if it is bitter and tough.

6. Peel the apple, cut out the stem and core. Cut into small, rather thin pieces. It is highly desirable to choose a hard, sweet and sour apple. I have the Golden variety.

7. Peel the red onion and cut into thin feathers. Start assembling the green salad with shrimp. Put the salad mix on a plate.

8. Next, distribute the cucumbers and cherry halves.

9. Top with apple pieces and onion.

10. Put the shrimps on the plate and pour the dressing evenly over the salad. The first way to serve: thread the shrimps onto skewers. Two or three servings of salad on a large plate, and the same number of shrimp skewers. It's convenient, and no one will steal most of the seafood

11. Next, pepper the green salad as desired, pour balsamic sauce over it and sprinkle with grated cheese.

12. The second way to serve: a ring - a wreath. It also looks beautiful. You just need to put the greens and all the ingredients in a circle. The green salad with shrimps, apple and cheese is ready! Bon appetit and delicious salad to everyone!
