  1. This is a great tasting salad, for sure! Made it as given & shared half of it with a neighbor couple, & we all agreed ~ A wonderful way to serve shrimp, & it's definitely a salad to make & enjoy again & again! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
     
  2. Easy, beautiful, tasty, and light! What else can you ask for from a salad? This made a beautiful workday lunch- the beans were enough to fill me up, but the lightness of the dressing, greens and shrimp kept me from wanting a post-lunch nap. The crunchy texture of the celery was a wonderful contrast to the creaminess of the beans. A snap to put together- it actually took longer to defrost the shrimp than to assemble the dish. This will make an excellent "party on the patio" meal this summer with a refreshing white wine. I made two small changes to the recipe- first I cut it to one serving, second I used baby spring mix instead of arugula. Definitely a make again! Thanks for posting a wonderful dish!
