    5 servings

  • Ingredients

  • 4 large artichokes
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cauliflower
  • 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped, divided
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 cups spring mix salad greens
  • 1 bunch watercress
  • 20 peeled and deveined cooked large shrimp
  • 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced, fronds reserved
  • 1/2 cup julienned sweet red pepper
  • Directions

  • Using a sharp knife, level the bottom of each artichoke and cut 1 in. from the top. Using kitchen scissors, snip off tips of outer leaves. Place in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam until leaves near the center pull out easily, 20-25 minutes. Add the asparagus, cauliflower and broccoli to steamer basket; cover and cook until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine wine and one shallot. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, wine mixture, mustard, salt, pepper and remaining shallot; set aside.
  • With a spoon, carefully remove the fuzzy centers and discard. Thinly slice artichoke hearts.
  • Place salad greens and watercress on a large platter. Top with the cooked vegetables, shrimp, fennel, red pepper and artichoke slices. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with reserved fennel fronds.
