4. Shrimp Salad

I’m all about salads you can arrange prettily on a plate, and this is one of those. Part of the secret in this delightful salad? Veggie prep. The wonderful Brittany from Eating Bird Food blanches her broccoli and broils her asparagus so that they aren’t mushy and don’t lose their taste. This is definitely one of those recipes where you can prepare most of it in advance, which is especially handy if you tend to have busy weeks.
