Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Now that it’s Spring, I found myself craving something light, fresh and well….basically Chinese. Of course the nearest Chinese restaurant is 70 miles away, so I did my best to come up with a recipe that met all three of my requirements. This is one spectacular salad that is full of deliciousness! I had to play around quite a bit with the salad dressing but Sparky loved it and gave the whole salad 2 thumbs up!

Here’s what we will need for the Asian Salad Dressing. Plus, I used Honey, but of course I forgot to put it in the photo.

Here’s what I put in the salad. It tasted so wonderful!

Cantonese Shrimp Salad

  • In each of 4 large bowls, layer the chopped Lettuce, followed by the Baby Corn and the julienned Red Pepper.
  • Cook the Edamame per package directions, cool, shell and discard the pods.
  • Layer the Edamame and the Water Chestnuts over the salad.
  • Layer the sliced Green Onion, the Alfalfa Sprouts and top with a small mound of shredded Carrot.
  • Sprinkle the Chow Mein Noodles evenly over the tops of the salads.
  • Top each salad with 5 large Shrimp. Let each person add the salad dressing to their liking. That's it friends! This was such a fabulous treat that I will be making over and over again. We love Shrimp but I think using cooked diced Chicken would also be delicious.
  • Thanks for stopping by today. I truly enjoy sharing my life and recipes with you all. Today I wish for you a Springtime of warm air, soft rain, and lovely flowers to brighten your hearts. Journey On! Hugs and much love from me. Karen, TJG
