Rustic Spinach and Shrimp Salad

A salad that doesn’t feel like you’re eating a salad. Does that make sense? That’s what this Rustic Spinach and Shrimp Salad recipe are all about – fresh spinach topped with chopped walnuts, sweet cranberries, shaved pecorino romano and lightly charred shrimp. It’s a simple salad disguised as restaurant quality. It will have you wiping your entire bowl clean.

Rustic Spinach and Shrimp Salad

This incredible salad comes directly from the hubby — but I have to warn you: he doesn’t use measuring cups. So when I asked him to measure how much spinach or walnuts he used, he looked at me like I had ten heads.

Below is a recipe for one serving, but don’t be greedy. This is a recipe to be doubled, tripled and shared.
