Colorful Salad – Mango, Avocado, Grapefruit
March 30, 2011 in Blog Recipes, Diabetic Menu Item, Mediterranean, Weight Management by Joyce Bunderson
This colorful salad is a symphony of flavors, from both the dressing and the fruits and vegetables. Mediterranean-style recipes are not just healthy, but delightful.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
¼ teaspoon ginger powder (I prefer fresh ginger, but didn't have any. If you do use fresh, increase to 2 teaspoons or more, as desired.)
¼ teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cups Romaine lettuce, washed, drained and broken into bite-sized pieces
1 large ripe mango, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 ruby red grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
1 large ripe avocado, diced
12 large cooked shrimp
3 green onions, sliced
¼ cups Pistachios
Directions:
Whisk first 6 ingredients in a small bowl to blend. Arrange lettuce in bottom of serving dish or divide onto individual plates. Arrange the remaining ingredients on the lettuce. Serve with the dressing.
