Fiery Grilled Beef Salad in Lunch Recipes,Although you can use any leafy green in this spicy main-course salad, I suggest watercress because it adds another subtle, peppery layer of heat to the dish. It's fine to partially cook the shallots ahead of time (even the night before) until they are golden, then let them cool; when you refry them before serving, they'll become extra crispy. Try it out!

Avocado Shrimp Salad in Lunch Recipes,Avocado shrimp salad topped with homemade citrus miso dressing is what summer is all about! This salad is loaded with peppery arugula, tons of avocado slices, juicy mandarin oranges, and garlic butter sauteed shrimp! My avocado shrimp salad starts like most salads. Choose your greens – be it grilled romaine, crispy baby spinach or spicy arugula. Then comes the toppings. Though you can certainly add cucumbers or even tomatoes to this salad, I decided to keep the toppings pretty simple with just mandarin orange slices, chunks of avocado, chopped red onions, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, sliced almonds, and garlic lemon butter shrimp. We'll drizzle the salad with our simple orange miso dressing, and there you go! A summer lunch or dinner in a flash. It's also a big plus that you can meal prep this avocado shrimp for lunch during the week and enjoy a crisp and refreshing desk lunch that tastes better than what you can grab from the salad bar.
