Tex-Mex Summer Salad

Chop & Mix greens:
  • 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
  • bok choy (2 baby or 1 regular), chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 seeded jalapeño or 2 seeded serrano peppers, chopped (optional)
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
If you are making some for today, and some to save for tomorrow, keep the greens separate from the rest of the ingredients to keep the salad from becoming soggy.

Add:
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can sweet corn
  • 5-6 tomatoes, chopped (roma or on the vine)
  • Juice of 1 lime squeezed over the salad once tossed 
  • Add grilled chicken if you wish.  Dress with salt & pepper, Garlic Cholula hot sauce and a splash of ranch.  Yum!

Spicy Garlic Shrimp

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 serrano chile, finely chopped
fresh chopped cilantro
wheat wraps
avocado 
tomato
lettuce


Place shrimp in a bowl and dust with cayenne and turmeric. Rub seasonings onto shrimp. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot, add mustard seeds. In a couple of seconds the seeds will begin to pop; at this time add garlic and stir constantly. When garlic turns golden, add chile and stir. Add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season with cilantro.  Serve in warm wheat tortillas or wraps with lettuce, tomato and avocado.


Did someone say avocado?  I eat it on everything, and it is a must on this dish.  Next time you are looking for a creamy salad dressing or mayo for a sandwich, reach for a healthy avocado instead!

Watch the calories on the wraps you buy!
