How to Make Asian Style Shrimp Caesar Salad

  1. **Dressing:**
  2. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup Marukan seasoned rice vinegar (orange label), 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, 1 large clove garlic, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until well combined.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 24 hours), allowing the flavors to meld. Remove garlic clove after 2 days for best results.
  5. **Salad:**
  6. In a large bowl, place 5 cups of your favorite salad greens (e.g., romaine, butter lettuce).
  7. Add enough dressing to lightly coat the greens; avoid overdressing.
  8. Divide the salad evenly among 4 plates.
  9. Top each serving with 1/2 avocado (sliced), 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
