Super Easy Salad With Shrimp

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 cups mixed salad greens
• 50g. shredded broccoli, carrot, and red cabbage slaw
• 1 oz. feta cheese
• 15g. Purely Elizabeth granola
• 4 oz. wild caught grilled shrimp (cooked in Seafood Magic seasoning)
• 1 oz. CFA Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette

For the salad greens — I prefer a power greens mix with kale and spinach (instead of Romaine.)

For the grilled shrimp — Kroger sells individual little bags of wild caught “Salad Shrimp” that are literally 4 oz., so it works out perfectly!

For the dressing — Kroger carries the CFA brand so that’s where I get it. Check and see if your local grocery store carries it and if not, this one could be a good option to try.

DIRECTIONS:

*You will need a food scale if you want to measure all of this out for macro purposes.

1. Throw your greens in a bowl. Tear them up with your hands to make it more bite-sized. (I like to make 3 of these at a time and keep them in the fridge as meal prep. I like these meal prep bowls because they’re large enough to toss and turn my salad without spilling it.)
2. Add your slaw, feta, and granola to the bowl.
3. Thaw your frozen shrimp by placing it in a colander and rinsing with cold water. Shake any excess water off and throw in a lightly oiled pan. (I just spray my pan quickly with this organic olive oil spray.)
4. Sauté the shrimp on high for about 2 minutes in plenty of Seafood Magic seasoning.
5. Add your shrimp to the bowl. Add your Apple Cider Vinaigrette at the time of eating!
6. Optional: Use a knife to shop the salad up. (I LOVE my salads nice and finely chopped!)
