Spring salads are here!

This deviled shrimp salad offers bursts of flavor from the fresh ingredients bathed in a lemon-forward marinate.


When I had this salad for the first time I was hesitant to try it as the name was a turn off. Looking beyond the name, I discovered a salad that would be a lifetime favorite. So easy to throw together, low on carbs, great as leftovers - have I piqued your interest?
