Delicious! Easy to whip up, refreshing and filling. I split it with my friend for dinner – perfect amount – but could definitely feed three!

Fantastic summer dinner!  Upped the amount of shrimp to 2 pounds. Served it with a side of grilled mangos!

I used half greek yogurt and half mayo for the dressing.  I also used 2 pounds of shrimp.  Cut calories and tasted great.  My husband and three sons were all looking for seconds.

What a great way to enjoy shrimp in summer. Great recipe the only things I changed were fresh parsley for cilantro and I added heirloom tomatoes instead of radishes. I did use a tablespoon of dried cilantro but my husband hates it so parsley was my substitute. The salad was our main course and it was wonderful. Will make again.

We made this salad last night and really enjoyed it! I used lettuce instead of Kale and just sautéed the shrimp instead of grilling but the dressing was delicious and we all enjoyed it! Nice and light for summer!
