Cherry Tomato Salad

Cookinero 1 Apr 2025

When buying vegetables for a salad with cherry tomatoes, it is best to be guided by the smell - it should be aromatic with obvious tomato notes. It would not be superfluous to inspect the skin for damage. It should be smooth and elastic. When buying seafood for a salad with shrimp and cherry tomatoes, you need to pay attention to their appearance. The shell should not have spots or damage, and the more curled the tail, the fresher the shrimp.

How to cook Cherry Tomato Salad

Step 1

Cherry Tomato Salad

Fry the vegetables and shrimp. Heat a frying pan with olive oil. Cut the pepper and garlic into small pieces and fry on low heat for about 3 minutes until softened, then remove from the frying pan. Fry the shrimp in the same frying pan until golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side. Don't forget to turn over in time. Turn off the heat and put the cooked shrimp on a plate.

Yes, grilled chicken, tofu, or even chickpeas make great alternatives to shrimp for a different protein option.
The dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake well before using.
Absolutely! Skip the shrimp and add avocado, roasted chickpeas, or extra cheese for a delicious vegetarian twist.
You can prep ingredients in advance, but assemble the salad just before serving to keep the arugula fresh and shrimp crispy.
Parmesan, Pecorino, or aged Manchego are excellent choices for grating in long, flavorful strips.
Reduce or omit the honey in the dressing and ensure your soy sauce is sugar-free for a lower-carb version.
Freezing is not recommended as the fresh ingredients like tomatoes and arugula don’t thaw well, but cooked shrimp can be frozen separately for up to a month.
