I'm very impressed with this. It delivers a lot of satisfaction for very light fat load. I used fat free plain yogurt with about 3/4 tsp of low fat mayo for the dressing (I made 2 servings). The market didn't have any red onion so I used green onion in it's place and I was happy with that. I just now noticed that I forgot to put the celery in! The texture is great, kind of a crunchy soft. It's very fresh tasting and pretty to look at as well. Thanks for this one Parsley.

I would've given it 5 stars if I hadn't made changes. I don't care for red bell pepper so I omitted it and I used full fat mayo and yellow onion instead of red cuz it's what I had on hand. For the baby shrimp I used half frozen salad shrimp and half canned shrimp. I had never used canned shrimp but I will from now on its 10x better than the frozen! This salad is amazing on Ritz or in a lettuce wrap! I added 2T lemon juice and lots of dill. I'll definitely make again! The canned shrimp I used is Wild Selections Tiny Pink Shrimp.

I must first confess my mistake. I made up the salad except for the shrimp, but when I opened my container of shrimp it smelled "off" and I didn't want to ruin the salad (or my evening!) so I tossed in some bacon bits and a chopped boiled egg instead. It was still very good and I'm anxious to try it with the shrimp as written next time. Thanks.

Just finished consuming this unique salad. I am on a very low fat diet, less than 5g per meal. This was so filling, tasty, and LOW in fat. I used non-fat mayo. I ate it with a rice cake and some tomatoes. Very nutritious, and one I will share with my other diet buddies. I added a dash of Old Bay Herb and Garlic seasoning for a bit more flavor, but that is sort of a side-effect of being on a diet, you always want more kick. Great recipe. So easy, so pretty and so different from my usual diet fare.
