âI lived in Venezuela for several years, so this Caribbean-style salad is a favorite of mine,â says Rosemarie Forcum, a field editor from White Stone, Virginia. âI came across the recipe about 10 years ago and changed it to suit my taste.â Ingredients:
1 pound cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained |
1 small green pepper, julienned |
1 small onion, thinly sliced |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
2/3 cup picante sauce |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon grated lime peel, optional |
6 lettuce leaves |
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the picante sauce, cilantro, lime juice, oil, honey, salt and lime peel if desired. Pour over shrimp mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Using a slotted spoon, spoon onto a lettuce-lined serving platter or salad plates. Garnish with tomatoes. Yield: 6 servings.
