You could use whichever vinegar you want, like red wine, white wine, balsamic, white, or even lemon or lime juice to switch it up a little, but this combination works every time. Let me know how you like it in the comments below!

This dressing can be modified in so many ways but this is the foundation. Sometimes I add a tsp. of mayonnaise to it, or greek yogurt to make it a little creamy. Sometimes I add fresh herbs from my garden, like chives, basil, or dill. I used balsamic in the salad above and I made another shrimp salad here, where I used apple cider vinegar. You could also use it to marinate meats. Instead of honey you could use maple syrup, sugar or eliminate it all together when you’re on the 4Hour Body diet or any other low-carb diet plan. I swear, everyone who eats a salad I make using this dressing always comments on how good it is and usually has seconds. Even my sons father, who hates salad, likes it. The combination always works.

Easy, 5 Minute, Low-Carb Shrimp & Peach Salad

Easy, 5 Minute, Low-Carb Shrimp & Peach Salad | www.4hourbodygirl.com

Being a single mom, I don’t have much time so I’m always creating quick, healthy and (usually) low-carb meals. So I threw together this Easy, 5 Minute, Low-Carb Shrimp & Peach Salad with feta cheese and arugula. I like to make extra everything and package it away like a little squirrel, in the freezer, to add to other dishes in a pinch. The 4Hour BODY Diet by Tim Ferriss says eat the same thing over and over again, but I just can’t! I love variety and am pretty creative with my cooking, and since I “batch cook” aka make extra and store it, I can add bits of this and bits of that to come up with different combinations pretty quickly.

I like to grab all of the ingredients at once and put it on my counter, I noticed Jaime Oliver and Rachel Ray do this a lot. I find it saves time, and I don’t miss any ingredients and it kinda helps me put it all together in my mind when I do this. 

I grabbed the shrimp and feta from the freezer, and ran the shrimp under hot water in a strainer.

While that was thawing I chopped up a few pieces of feta first so it could thaw out on the cutting board while I did everything else. 

I grabbed a handful or organic arugula (pre-washed) from the store, sliced up the peach added that on top of the arugula, and then then added the feta.

I always have a jar of homemade dressing on hand in the fridge as well. You can find the recipe fro that here. I find it goes well with just about any salad if you need it in a pinch.

While that was all sitting a bowl, I grabbed the shrimp, threw them in a pan with a little coconut oil. Sprinkled some chill powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and sautéed them until they were pink.
