Mayonnaise-Free Shrimp Salad
Fast & Easy Dinner: Spicy Thai Shrimp Salad
Now that it's officially Summer, I crave healthy yet hearty salads for dinner. With its creamy, mayonnaise-based dressing, shrimp salad is a delicious favorite, but it's not so light. That's why I prefer to make a spicy Thai-inspired shrimp salad.
It's packed with bright, crisp flavors and crunchy, cool veggies. The recipe serves the salad on bibb lettuce; I think mixed greens or romaine would be equally scrumptious. Get the technique when you read more. From Eating Well Ingredients 2 tablespoons lime juice Directions Serves 4.
