2 teaspoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon capers
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
4 vine-ripened tomatoes(about 1 lb), sliced very thin
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet onion

1/2 medium avocado, diced into pieces the same size as the shrimp
8 Bibb lettuce leaves (preferably hydroponic), cut into 1/8-inch strips

Steps:

To make dressing, combine shallots, 1 teaspoon capers and lime juice in a blender and purée until smooth. Add olive oil and mustard and blend until well combined. Stir in honey. Arrange 5 slices of tomato on each of four plates, overlapping them to form a circle with a hole in the middle. Combine feta, remaining capers and onion, drizzle with some dressing and salt and pepper to taste, and toss well. Combine shrimp and avocado in another bowl, drizzle with some dressing and salt and pepper to taste, and toss well. Drizzle lettuce with a little dressing and salt and pepper to taste, and toss well. Mound 1/4 of the lettuce in center of tomato ring. Spoon 1/4 of the feta and shrimp mixture on top. Drizzle tomatoes and salad with some of the remaining dressing. Garnish with popcorn shoot sprouts, if desired.
