Shrimp, Edamame and Artichoke Salad

Edamame, which are immature soybeans, have a terrific nutty, buttery taste. They also happen to be highly nutritious. You can find frozen shelled edamame at many grocery stores. I buy mine at Trader Joe's. The beans add some fat to this salad--supplying essential-fatty-acids, which our bodies cannot manufacture, so eating soybeans is a good use of your fat allowance.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 3/4 pound cooked shrimp
  • 3/4 cup frozen edamame (soybeans), thawed
  • 1 14-ounce can water-packed artichoke hearts, drained
  • 3 vine-ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • .
  • For the Citrus Dressing:
  • Juice of 1 medium orange
  • Juice of 1 large lemon
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley

PREPARATION:

Wash and dry spinach leaves. Arrange in 4 bowls or on 4 salad plates. Arrange shrimp, edamame, artichoke hearts and tomato wedges on top.

Combine dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake vigorously until blended. Drizzle over salad just before serving.
