Noodles and Rice

Spinach, Shrimp and Mango Salad

by Stef on July 26th, 2005


I’m not too fond of most Asian-style salads, because I find some things are usually “off” or the combination of tastes just screams WRONG! This is one exception to the rule.

1 package baby spinach, washed and spun dry
2 cups large shrimp, steamed, peeled and deveined
1 large ripe mango (Champagne mango if you can find it is best), peeled, de-seeded and cut into 1/3-inch slices
1/4 cup red onion, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon grated zest and 3 tablespoons juice from 1 orage
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup canola oil, expeller-pressed preferred
1 tablespoon sesame oil.

    this is the kind of recipe that had me cursing at my shellfish allergy!! going to test if i can substitute the shrimp with something else…

    you could try surimi (fake crabmeat) — some varieties aren’t made with shellfish — just might work, and you still get the "seafood flavor".
