Asian Shrimp and Spinach Salad
This light and healthful salad is packed with folic acid and iron from the spinach and lean protein from the shrimp. I just served this easy peasy salad along with tom yum gai soup for a fun and bubbly girls champagne brunch. I added a bit of the mandarin orange juice to the champagne with rave reviews and called it “The Tigerlily.”
