Submitted by Hey Jude

"Easy, delicious salad! I found this recipe in a Chicago Tribune article on dishes to make for Father's Day. Cook time does not include the shrimp cooking time because I always buy the shrimp already cooked."

This salad recipe is wonderful and so easy to prepare. I used feta with basil and tomatoes. The dressing was light, but stands up to the strong flavors of the shrimp and feta. I served this as the main course and it was very satisfying for everyone. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I increased the recipe to 50 servings, and made this salad for my son's wedding reception. It was a great hit, folks were going back for seconds and thirds. It took a lot of prep steaming then peeling the fresh shrimp since much more was required, but had a lot of eager help in the kitchen(bought extra to nibble while we worked!), and all other supplies at hand- the salad itself went together very easily, transported well and with the bowls nestled in ice bowls, it stood up very well. There weren't any leftovers, despite the feast of home-cooked and catered foods at the reception. A truly great salad! Many requests for recipe. thanks for posting such a good easy salad! so perfect for a summer evening and an excellent recipe!

March Green Tag 2009, Scrumptuous!!! This came out so easy to make and it really packed a flavorful punch. I used plum tomatoes, cut in half, arugala, romaine, butter, and spinach as my salad greens. I did add in a slice of red onion with the green for color. The family and B-I-L thought it was great. I did not crumble the feta on the salad but did put slices onto everyones plate at serving so each could decide how to add of if to add. Served with warmed artisian bread. YUMMMMMM

I love feta and it was great in this delicious salad. I have made this several times after having it the first time, and each time I really love it! This is standard for my menu preparation now and is a real keeper!
