    Healthy Shrimp Salad that’s too Easy to Toss Together

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on July 19, 2022 Appetizers, Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees, Salad

    Nutritious, delicious, and dairy-free food need not be complicated or difficult. This healthy shrimp salad is proof. The cooked shrimp basks in a quick and easy marinade for a few hours, before tossing it all with some lovely fresh greens. You can buy pre-cooked shrimp and bagged salad – we won’t tell!

    Healthy Shrimp Salad that’s too Easy to Toss Together

    We have updated this healthy shrimp salad recipe, but it was originally shared with us by Cate O’Malley.

    Give me a salad like this and I’ll happily eat my greens every day of the week. A tried-and-true favorite in our house, this Marinated Shrimp Salad was clipped from a Bon Appetit issue many years ago, and is ideal for both casual dinners and for when we entertain. It doesn’t take much more effort than mixing and chilling, and any home cook can handle that, be they novice or expert. It’s quick enough to be a perfect starter on a harried weeknight, yet fancy enough to whip up for special guests. My mouth is just watering thinking about making this one again … already.
