20-Minute Gourmet Shrimp and White Bean Salad

Submitted by Monique_AustinTX

"This recipe is adapted from minutemeals. It's quick, definitely easy, and flavorful! You don't feel heavy afterwards because it's served over lettuce but it's still filling. Also, I highly recommend Newman's Own Family Recipe Italian dressing for both the recipe and as a dressing on the salad greens"
