Summer + shrimp + citrus = This Salad. You know what I love? COLOR! The more variety in color on my dinner plate, the better.

Corn on a salad in my new favorite thing. You could take this a step further and cook corn on the cobb on the barbeque, get those nice grill marks. I went with the much easier frozen corn this time because we wanted dinner pronto but BBQ’d corn on the cobb definitely screams ‘Summer’.

My salad assembly line…

Cucumber, Tomato, Avocado, Bell Pepper, Pepper, Shrimp (sauteed in lime juice and Old Bay Seasoning) and unpictured corn.

Top all the goodies on a bed of ice burg & romaine lettuce!

The salad dressing was also a clean, homemade lemon dressing:

2 Tbs extra virin olive oil

2 Tbs white wine vinegar

1 Tbs lemon juice

1 tsp dijon mustard

1 clove garlic, minced

Pepper.

Combine in a small container with a lid and SHAKE IT!

This made 2 large dinner salads :)

Lemon and lime are the perfect compliment to shrimp. My family definitely likes seafood, and last summer I had a whole series of summer seafood recipes:

Summer Seafood: Shrimp Burgers with Peachy Salsa

Summer Seafood: Shrimp Quesadillas with Homemade Pesto

Summer Seafood: Shrimp Kabob Salad
