Salad
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3/4 pound peeled and deveined shrimp (raw or cooked), chopped
1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives
4 teaspoons drained capers, lightly chopped
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
10 basil leaves, julienned
2 cups cooked quinoa
3/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette (recipe below)

Balsamic Vinaigrette:
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1
Saute the red pepper and onion in olive oil until soft. Put in large bowl.
2
Saute the shrimp in the same pan (if raw, until cooked or if already cooked, just a few minutes for flavor). Add the shrimp to the bowl with the red pepper and onion. Let cool slightly.
3
Add the remaining ingredients for the salad.
4
To make the vinaigrette, either blend all ingredients in a blender to emulsify, or just add to a glass jar and shake until well incorporated.
5
Add the vinaigrette to the salad and then put in the fridge for at least 20 minutes so that it can chill and the flavors can marinate.
6
Enjoy!
