This is a great recipe, so simple, with such a clean, fresh taste, and did I mention simple? It’s got a contemporary flavor profile, and is incredibly healthy. Clearly a recipe from the archives, it should be brought to the fore on the cooking site, especially now, as it’s particularly well-suited to summer.
This dish can be made with shrimp alone with ease. Placed on a bed of arugula, shredded carrots and cabbage with cucumber. Delicious and quick to make.
The dressing for this sounded delicious--I had to try it. My little urban garden needed some harvesting, so I made a bed of fresh lettuce, arugula, basil, mint, & parsley. I topped it with shredded carrot, cucumber, green cabbage, red bell pepper scallion, & chopped cashew. I dressed this salad with olive oil and lime. Then I made the sauce as directed, but I didn't have the variety of seafood (I wish I had!) I can attest that if you only have a white fish fillet, this is still exquisite.
