Food: Shrimp & Chicken Salad with Zucchini, Peas and Basil



I adapted a recipe from Bon Appetit.  It sounded so light and refreshing for yet another sweltering hot summer day.  And paired with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, it was delicious!

dressing (mix and set aside):

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons drained capers, 1 shallot, minced, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

in a large wok, saute:
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, 1 pound chicken breast, chopped, 2 zucchini (green and yellow), cubed, 1 cup peas, salt & pepper, red pepper flakes.
 Toss 8 cups arugula with dressing, mix in cooked ingredients, top with grated Parmesan cheese.  Serve & Enjoy.
