Green Apple, Jicama, and Prawn Salad with Mint, Lemongrass, and Dijon Dressing
A Southeast Asian chopped salad bursting with exotic flavors. Sweet yet tart. My boyfriend was surprised when I duplicated this salad after we raved about it at a popular restaurant in San Francisco. Enjoy.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Bring a small pot of water to boil.
Cook shrimp in boiling water until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 3 to 5 minutes; drain.
Rinse shrimp with cold water to cool completely.
Peel, devein, and slice shrimp in half lengthwise; set aside in a bowl.
Toss apple, jicama, and carrots together in a large bowl.
