Light salad with rucola and prawns

A variety of salads with spring greens are very useful for those who watch their figure. Italian herbs - arugula, basil, oregano - add to the dish a unique flavor. And seafood is nutritious, tasty and looks good in cold appetizers. Let's whip up, or rather, in ten minutes, we will create an original and fashionable salad with rucola and shrimp.

To prepare it does not need too much. Take a few cherry tomatoes, a little cheese for sprinkling (ideally - Parmesan, but you can choose any other hard variety instead), olive oil with balsamic vinegar for refueling, black pepper and salt. Well, of course, you need the rucola with shrimp.

The latter can be as purified, cooked, frozen, or fresh, uncleaned.

However, in the second case it will be necessary to tinker with small arthropods - boil them and clean (you can fry in oil and fold them on a paper towel to stack excess fat).

Frozen seafood simply pour boiling water and drain the water.

Rukkolu mine, tear into separate leaves and put in a salad bowl. We put tomatoes on the top, cut into halves (if large enough - then on quarters). On the green-red variety, spread gently-pink shrimps and sprinkle with grated cheese. In a separate bowl, we prepare the dressing: for this, a couple of tablespoons of vinegar and olive oil are beaten with a fork with pepper and salt until an emulsion is obtained. She sprinkles our salad "Rukkola with shrimps" just before serving, so that the grass does not lose its crisp freshness.

If desired, this dish can be supplemented with a small avocado, but then you also need lemon juice. Exotic fruit should be cut into thin strips and sprinkled with lemon to soften. And otherwise this salad with rucola and prawns is prepared similarly to the previous recipe. In order to please not only the stomach, but also the eye, you can not mix the ingredients before serving. Cover the bottom of the portioned dish with arugula, lay cherry on it, then avocado, and on top - seafood. Cheese is not necessary - let there be a riot of colors. Sprinkle with lemon, vinegar, butter and enjoy.

Salad with rucola and prawns can be changed to infinity. For example, you can add orange notes in the form of fresh paprika. A pod of Bulgarian pepper, we cleanse it of seeds, cut it and find a place for cherry tomatoes and seafood. A special charm to this dish will give a large-grinded cashew, which should be sprinkled with a ready-made salad. If you prefer pine nuts, then they can be used entirely. This recipe is also suitable if you do not have pure arugula, but a salad mix of Italian herbs (for example, together with radicio, freesee, iceberg).

You can make a salad with rucola and prawns more tasty and aromatic if you give yourself the trouble to tinker with raw arthropods. Of course, it's much easier to buy a package of cooked and peeled seafood, but as a festive option, remember this recipe. One or two cloves of garlic finely chopped, fry in vegetable oil, when browned, add seafood, at the end of the heat treatment process add soy sauce, let's soak. A special charm will be given to the salad shrimps, cooked in water with salt and dill. You can not cut a bundle, but put it entirely. It is needed only for the smell, it is thrown away after cooking.
