LUNCH
Lemony Shrimp, Kale & Potato Salad
3 large lemons, divided
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 bay leaf, stem removed
1 large clove garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 medium russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 pound raw shrimp (21-15 count), peeled and deveined
4 cups coarsely chopped stemmed curly kale
1 pint large cherry tomatoes, halved
3 small Persian cucumbers, sliced
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
⅓ cup pitted Kalamata olives
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Step 1 Cut 1 lemon into 8 wedges and set aside. Cut peel and pith from the remaining 2 lemons. Working over a measuring cup, cut between the membranes and flesh to release the segments, letting them fall into the cup. Press on the segments; if you have less than 1/3 cup juice and fruit, squeeze 1 or more of the reserved wedges to make 1/3 cup. Transfer the segments and juice to a blender. Add oil, bay leaf, garlic, honey, pepper and salt; blend until very smooth.
Step 2 Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Coat the basket with cooking spray. Add potato slices, cover and steam until tender, about 8 minutes. Add shrimp and remove from heat. Cover and let the shrimp cook in the residual heat until they turn pink, about 1 minute.
Step 3 Toss kale with the dressing in a large bowl. Massage the kale until the volume is reduced by half. Add tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and olives; toss to coat. Top with the shrimp, potatoes and feta. Serve with the lemon wedges.
