Total Time: About 35 Minutes | Makes 1 Serving


What You Need:
2 Cups of Spinach
About 3 Ounces cooked shrimp
Lemon Pepper Seasoning (or seasonings of choice for shrimp)
1/4 Cup, Lentils (uncooked)
1/3 Cup, Couscous (uncooked)
2 TBSP Dried Cranberries
1 TBSP Sliced Almonds
1/4 Cup Diced Butternut Squash (I recommend using frozen/pre-diced to save time!)
1/2 Cup Chopped Apples
For the Dressing
1 TBSP Fresh Orange Juice
2 TSP Olive Oil
1 TSP Agave
1 TSP Red Wine Vinegar
Garlic Powder
Directions:
Thaw the shrimp and cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Add the lemon pepper seasoning and set aside.
Prepare the couscous and lentils according to package directions. Let cool and set aside.
Microwave the frozen squash according to package directions! If you are using fresh squash, then fully cook and set aside.
On a cutting board, chop the apple into small pieces. (Optional to remove skin or keep on!)
Add the spinach to a large bowl. Add in the cooked couscous, lentils, diced squash, shrimp and chopped apples.
Top with the dried cranberries and the sliced almonds.
To prepare the dressing, mix together all components above in a separate bowl until fully combined.
Add the dressing to the salad and enjoy :)
NOTE - You can meal prep this by waiting to add the spinach and dressing until the day of.
