in steemitfoodchallenge •  8 years ago  (edited)

For this Steemit Food Challenge I am going to make and easy and healthy Lentil Salad with Shrimps.


Lentils are a good source of iron, protein and cholesterol-lowering fiber. They are also an excellent natural source of folate, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.
Lentils are quick to prepare when compared to other dried legumes, but today I am going to use precooked lentils, these are 100% natural:

Ingredients:
Serves 2-3

  • 400 gr precooked lentils 100% natural
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 1/2 green pepper
  • 1/2 peeled cucumber
  • 1/2 onion
  • 8 frozen and peeled shrimps (unfreeze 30 minutes before)
  • 1 peeled garlic clove
  • Dry chilli

Salad dressing:

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • himalayan salt
  • juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions
Rinse lentils with water and drain very well.

Season the shrimps with garlic slices, chilli, salt and olive oil in a small bowl.

Chop parsley and vegetables and transfer to a large bowl.

|
For the salad dressing combine all the ingredients in a small glass jar and shake it.

Add the lentils and salad dressing and toss to mix.

Finally Stir-Fry shrimps for 2 minutes.

Top the colorful and delicious salad with the shrimps.

and here is the final result:

After a healthy meal, why not your favourite ice cream with fresh fruit for dessert? (3 minutes left)

I hope you enjoy it!
