Caesar & Barbecued Shrimp Salad

Caesar & Barbecued Shrimp ~ Super Salads

I absolutely love this much healthier version.

You can now enjoy this meal as a lighter alternative to the classic.

While most restaurants drown the greens in a heavy dressing.

This lemony version.

Lets the flavor of the plump and juicy, barbecued shrimp shine through.

Don't worry about the anchovies.

As they'll mellow in the dressing, giving it a rich taste that can't be duplicated.

This salad seems to go with everything.

And if you prefer, substitute folate-rich spinach instead of the typical romaine.

Your whole family will absolutely love this savory Caesar salad.

Tossed with tasty grilled shrimp.

Serves 4, about 2 1/2 c. each

Very, good salad!

Refreshing and hearty enough as a stand-alone meal.
