|
|
1/3

¾
cup |
|
extra-virgin olive oil |
|

lb |
|
green beans, cooked and cut into 1"
pieces |
|
|
1
heart of |
|
celery, leaves included, sliced ¼" thick |
|
|
1
bunch |
|
green onions, white part and half the
green, thinly sliced |
|
|
1
medium |

1 |
Place shrimp
in a shallow bowl and set aside. |
|
2 |
Combine
lemon juice, salt, pepper and mustard in a
medium-mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Whisk in
oil in a slow stream so that the dressing does
not separate. |

Immediately
pour half of the dressing on the shrimp. Fold
the shrimp and dressing together with a rubber
spatula to make sure they are evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate. |

Combine all
remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl and
fold in the remaining dressing with a large
rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate. |
|

About half
an hour before serving, add the shrimp to the
vegetable salad and fold together with a rubber
spatula. Taste for seasoning and add more salt,
pepper or lemon juice as needed. |
