Salad Greens With Shrimp And Dressing
I usually prefer my salads to be jam-packed with ingredients. By the time it is all said and done, I may as well have eaten a double cheeseburger and fries!
This Shrimp Salad has only a few ingredients. But it is bursting with flavor thanks to the Creamy Chimichurri Homemade Salad Dressing!
I have been obsessed with chimichurri lately. Why? I don’t know. I just get obsessed with random things from time to time.
The Creamy Chimichurri Dressing is very easy to make. Just blend the ingredients in your food processor or blender and it is ready!
The best thing about homemade salad dressing is that YOU control the flavor and the ingredients.

Mmmm that bright green dressing looks so good! You’re so right, I really like making my own dressings because I find so many are so salty =/
Thanks Lisa! I think most processed food tastes like licking salt … So I Agree 😀
This looks like such a gorgeous recipe Nicole! I love shrimp on salads & will have to try it. Now if we could only get fresh shrimp way up here in Wisconsin…
Oh, me too! I have to use frozen shrimp. I’d kill for some fresh shrimp with the heads still on!
