asparagus and shrimp salad recipe: easy and fast lunch recipe

With only 10 days away from Christmas, I bet you are a busy bee finishing shopping and preparing for the upcoming parties! If you are like me, you may go shopping during your lunch break. It’s convenient and it avoids shopping at night with whining kids! But in order to get through this hectic holiday season, you need to eat a healthy lunch, sleep well and exercise! (Ok maybe forget about the exercise, you will do it after the holiday season). But is very important to eat healthy meals to give you the energy to finish all what you have to do!

Healthy meals don’t have to be complicated! You just need to have the ingredients on hand! One of my favorite easy and fast lunch recipes are salads! They are easy to prepare and healthy! Besides you don’t feel bloated after! (you know that kind of feeling you have after eating pasta or pizza ).  Let’s take a look at this delicious asparagus and shrimp salad recipe! I am sure you will make very often!

    I would have to switch from green to black olives but other than that it looks like a very yummy recipe!
