"Plan ahead this salad needs to chill for a minimum of 3 hours, it can easily be doubled --- this is very good!"

This had a light and refreshing taste. This was loved by all. I used dried dill and can't wait to try with the fresh dill. Bought and planted one in the garden just so I could have fresh.

One of the best shrimp salads I've had. I did add some diced celery, as I love celery in salads and I only used 2 tsp of dillweed. I think next time I will cut 2 tsp down to 1 tsp of dillweed as I thought it over powered the rest of the salad but it was still delicious. I will be saving the recipe and sharing it at our gatherings we have with our friends. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

What a cool refreshing salad. I used fresh Gulf Shrimp & cut them into smaller pieces. I used fresh cukes & tomotoes from the farm stand up the street, and fresh dill in my Herb Garden. All of the ingredients were colorful and they worked well together. We will be having this again, would also be a great dish to take to a cook-out. Thanks for posting.

This is AWESOME! Loved it!! I made it for a large group and everyone enjoyed it. I didn't use dill becuase I didn't have any and don't really care for it. Other than that, I made it as posted.

I knew I was going to love this salad because I love the combination of cucumbers, shrimp and dill. So refreshing! It's a colorful salad, too. I did let mine chill at least three hours and the dill flavor really intensified. Thanx for posting this. I'll be making this again!
