Ingredients

• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 cups mixed greens
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Start by bringing a big pot of water to a rolling boil. Toss in the shrimp and let them cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn a lovely pink and opaque. Once done, drain them and set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the fresh greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese for a vibrant salad.
3. For the dressing, grab a small bowl and whisk together some olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until it’s well combined.
4. Now, add the cooled shrimp to your salad and drizzle the dressing over everything. Gently toss it all together to mix.
5. You can serve it right away, or if you prefer a refreshing crunch, pop it in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
