15-Min Summer Salad Bowl

Summer Salad Bowl, for the win! ????

What would you say if I told you this amazing salad bowl could be assembled in 15 min?

Aside from the ease of putting it together, this is what I love about it:

⦿ Keeps you full for 3-4 hours [which helps to curb the night-time cravings].

⦿ Packed w/antioxidants, due to my “secret weapon” — Parsley!

Parsley helps stimulate kidney production of urine and draws excess water out of the abdomen, where it can cause discomfort and indigestion.

Translation: Eating parsley helps relieve excess bloating [aka water weight] in the tummy. I don’t know about you, but when I gain a few lbs, it’s in my belly and it’s often excess water [at least that’s what I tell myself]. ????

Bonus Tip: Make a pot of quinoa at the beginning of the week. This allows you to put this dish together in 15 minutes!

⦿ ½ c halved cherry tomatoes

⦿ 1 cuke [sliced w/seeds removed]

⦿ ¼ c chopped sweet onion [I ❤️ Walla Walla]

⦿ ¾ c sliced radishes

⦿ 1/3 c sliced Kalamata olives

⦿ Sliced avocado

⦿ 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

⦿ 2 c salad greens

⦿ Lemon & olive oil [to taste]

???? Mix 2 c quinoa w/all the veggies. Squeeze ½ lemon & 1-2 tbsp olive oil, add salt & pepper to taste.

Shrimp: ????

⦿ 1 lb cleaned/deveined shrimp

⦿ 2-3 cloves chopped garlic

⦿ ½ cup avocado oil or ghee [I ❤️ @ancientorganics]

⦿ 1 tbsp chopped parsley

???? Add all ingredients in a bowl and let the shrimp marinate for up to an hour.

???? In a large sauté pan on med heat, add 1 tbsp of ghee. Once it’s pretty hot, add the entire shrimp mixture. Shrimp will let you know when they’re done [they turn pink and are cooked in less than 5 min].

???? Now, assemble your bowl!
