Everyone loved this salad-so light and refreshing-and pretty, too! The textures and flavors went so well together. Thank you, Barb, for a DELICIOUS recipe!!! Made for the Think Pink Tag Game In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, October 2008.

Found this is in the Best of Cooking Light cookbook! Great flavors and textures but I had to add a little more salt, lime juice and olive oil because it seemed a little dry. This has a summery, fresh and light taste and has wonderful color! Thanks for posting!

This is a great recipe! I made it for the first time this summer after seeing it in a Cooking Light magazine. Lots of light summertime flavours and a variety of textures. I've included a photo of my personal rendition. You can see I added tiger shrimp in place of small salad shrimp. Either way it is a fantastic dish!
