I serve this gazpacho salad as a main dish, either cold or at room temperature. It’s especially great on a warm summer day.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and sliced diagonally into 2-inch pieces
- 1 pound large peeled and deveined cooked shrimp
- 2 cups cubed and seeded English cucumber
- 2 cups chopped tomatoes
- ½ cup diced green bell pepper
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
- ¼ cup tomato juice
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 8 cups mixed salad greens
Directions
Step 1
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in ice cold water; drain well.
Step 2
Combine steamed asparagus, shrimp, cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and basil in a large bowl.
Step 3
Combine tomato juice, vinegar, oil, garlic, sugar, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir dressing with a whisk until well blended. Pour over shrimp mixture and toss well. Divide greens among 4 plates and top each with 2 cups of the shrimp salad.
