From: www.sparkpeople.com user CHEF_MEG

You will never guess that the dressing is oil free and packed with
3 cups of greens, zucchini, and avocado! I call it great green dressing.

--> Dressing
1 medium zucchini, ends removed, sliced
3 cups arugula or spinach
1/2 avocado
1/4 tsp black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar

--> Salad
Nonstick cooking spray
12 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp olive oil
1 head red leaf lettuce, torn into bite size pieces
1 (15oz can) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 red onion, sliced thin

--> Dressing
Puree all ingredients in a food processor or blender. If the dressing
is too thick to pour, add one tablespoon of water at a time until it
reaches the desired consistency.

--> Salad
Spray the shrimp with nonstick cooking spray, then sprinkle on the
paprika.

Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the hot
pan, then add the shrimp once the oil is hot. Saute the shrimp for
3-4 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Toss the shrimp and remaining salad ingredients with the dressing in
a large bowl and serve.
