Mediterranean Chopped Salad With Shrimp And Chickpeas Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the lettuce, shrimp, cucumber, chickpeas, onion, Feta, olives, and pita chips to the oil and vinegar.
• Add 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and toss.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in bowl.
• Chill for 30 minutes.
• This needs to be served within an hour of preparing. If you need to have stand longer, keep the cukes separate and add at last minute. This is due to the cukes "sweating" and therefore watering down salad.

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, shallot and garlic. Slowly whisk in the oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Season with salt and crushed red pepper to taste and then fold in the herbs. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To make the chopped salad: In a large bowl gently toss together all the ingredients. Season the salad with salt, pepper, dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Dress the salad with the vinaigrette and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Thaw shrimp, shell and remove tails. Heat oil in skillet, add garlic and hot pepper flakes. Saute shrimp until opaque. Set aside in serving bowl.
• Combine all salad ingredients. Toss with dressing (use purchased dressing, or try one of many excellent 'Zaar choices). Serve immediately, topping with shrimp.
• You may want to reduce the amount of dressing used, or put less salt in if making from scratch - the olives and feta add saltiness.
• Grilled shrimp are very nice.

Steps:

• Combine cucumber, tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon salt in colander set over bowl and let stand 15 minutes.
• Whisk oil, vinegar, and garlic together in large bowl. Add drained cucumber and tomatoes, chickpeas, olives, onion, and parsley; toss and let stand at room temperature to blend flavors, 5 minutes.
• Add romaine and feta; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
• Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
• Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
