1
Prepare the Ingredients
Chop the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and carrot into small, bite-sized pieces. Trim the asparagus and green beans, then cut them into similar-sized pieces. Slice the scallions thinly.
2
Cook the Shrimp
In a skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
3
Blanch the Vegetables
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and green beans, and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Remove and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry.
4
Combine the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, asparagus, green beans, bell pepper, carrot, and scallions. Add the cooked shrimp and Gorgonzola cheese.
5
Dress the Salad
Drizzle with sherry vinaigrette and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Serve
Divide the salad among plates and serve immediately.
