How pretty is this salad? Extremely easy to make just have all the ingredients chopped and ready to go before your guests arrive. I used my foodstacks sprayed inside with a little olive oil spray. Came out of the mold extremely easy. Because of the strong flavors in this salad I serve it with my light lemon vinaigrette.
Ingredients
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 thick cut slices amber wood smoked bacon, cooked to crisp and medium diced
4 hardboiled eggs, medium diced
2 ripe small Haas Avocados, medium diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, medium diced
1 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
2 cups mixed greens or mache
Kosher salt and pepper
Tarragon to garnish
Dressing
Mary’s lemon vinaigrette (recipe on website)
Tools
4 foodstax
Directions
Sprinkle salt and pepper on the shrimp and grill until done, about 2 minutes on each side.. Remove from the grill and chop to a medium sized dice. Set aside. Meanwhile, put the lemon juice on the avocado to keep it from turning brown.
To plate, put the foodstax in the center of a salad plate. I spray the center of the foodstax with a little non stick spray first. Starting with the bottom layer put the tomatoes, then the eggs, bacon, gorgonzola cheese, avocado and then the shrimp on the top. Put a stick of tarragon in the center on the top for a garnish. Scatter the mache or mixed greens around the mold. Press down a little on top of the shrimp with your fingers to press the ingredients together. Slowly remove the foodstax and drizzle the salad with the Lemon Vinaigrette.
