  1. Made your recipe pretty much as given, though I did start with just 3 tablespoons of lemon juice & then added just a teaspoon more! Also started with the 1/3 cup of mayo & found that to be just right for us! Really liked the crunch of the water chestnuts! Finally, since I was serving this as one of several salads, I sprinkled the chopped tomato over the entire bowl & it was ready for the table! This was a great tasting salad, & one I'll be happy to add to my summer salads list! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
     
  2. This is lovely. I think that I would have preferred a finer grate of the cabbage as it comes in as the strongest flavor. I skipped the tomato only because the salad had to be in the fridge for quite awhile and I didn't want it to bleed juice into the mix. Love the lemon juice here. Thanks Gert for another reason to be thankful for summer.
     
  3. I made this last night and let it sit in the fridge until today's lunch. Then, I wrapped in it a whole wheat tortilla, which went really nicely with it. I left out the carrots and the water chestnuts, because I don't really care for either. Next time, I may try mustard instead of the lemon juice and will add some sea salt as well. Overall, a terrific recipe! And, my 6 year old chose this recipe as his first adventure tasting shrimp...it won him over. :)
     
  4. DH just loved this, I really liked it. We had this for "snack night". I cut it down to 1 1/2 servings. I served it on crackers. I did take short cut and used shrimp meat cut up and also prepackaged shredded cabbage mix. DH thought it needed more salt, I thought that it had too much lemon juice. Overall a great appetizer and it will be served again. Thanks gertc96 for posting.

I am 30 years old and I love to cook for my family of four.... I am married with two wonderful children.... That is them in the picture above.... It's a little old though.... Wesley will be five in June and Katelyn will be eight in June.... I'm always looking for new things to cook and try out on all of my family.... I'm also a teacher to 17 wonderful 3 yr. olds.... I'm always looking for quick, easy, and wonderful tasting food to fix that my whole family will enjoy... My husband is a picky meat and potatoes man.... SO, any time I fix something new that he likes, is amazing.... Wesley is like his daddy and loves to eat meat and potatoes, but he's also real good about trying other foods.... Katelyn, will eat whatever she can get her hands on.... Katelyn has some special needs and we have to watch what she eats and how she eats.... You can check out her website by clicking our link.... http://www.caringbridge.org/tx/katelyn For fun, I enjoy sewing, scrap booking, reading, and spending time with my kids.
