Shrimp Salad with Mint Yogurt Dressing (chockful of zuchini, carrots and arugula)

The Sandwich Shop at my building just re-opened after a facelift. They have ZE BEST SALADS, I found my favourite salad for February. Protein per 100g is 21g which rivals their ocean friends- fish! While it is true that shrimp is filled with cholesterol, there is a distinction between GOOD and BAD cholesterol and shrimp is filled with the former.

LDL is "bad" cholesterol, it is what you find in deep fried fatty foods, will build up in inner walls of your arteries which feed oxygen to heart and brain thereby clogging up your arteries causing a heart attack or even a stroke. "Good" cholesterol also known as HDL (high density lipo protein) acts to protect against heart attack by carrying the excess cholesterol away from the arteries towards the liver where it is passed out by the body.

Yum.

When the boards were up during renovation, I thought "Oh no, another salad place!" When they opened, I decided to pop in for a visit and, it turns out that they make pretty good salads. The concept is innovative.

For $8.90, you get a bowl of mixed greens, a dressing of choice and 6 toppings of your fancy – tuna, sunflower seeds, tofu, corn, broccolli, olives, cheese, chick peas etc. You’d be hardpressed to find something you didn’t like! It has become my new favourite take out for lunch. I would usually get two servings of tuna, egg, tofu, sunflower seed and chick peas with a french ravegoti dressing (olive oil, lemon juice etc). Absolutely yums and I get my protein.

It helps that the owners are on hand to serve you, gives service a real kick! If you are in the CBD area, drop by and give them a look.
