Are shrimp salads healthy?

It's all about balance. The biggest thing that makes a salad unhealthy is drenching it in fattening salad dressing.

You can see that making your own salad dressing requires very few ingredients and packs quite the punch. This is a great way to make a healthy salad recipe and keep it healthy.

What goes with shrimp salad?

Since this is a lighter salad, keep anything that you pair with it light. A nice soup is always a great option or even a slice of homemade bread or a roll.

How long is shrimp salad good in the refrigerator?

For the best results, eat any leftovers of this salad within 1-2 days. The salad will start to get rubbery after that and the dressing will make the lettuce soft.

Can I leave out the shrimp?

Yes, you can. You can do anything that you want with this recipe which makes it easy to change up every time.

If you want to use less shrimp, do so. If you want to use more shrimp, go for it. You can even add more veggies or other types of veggies, too.

Can I use storebought dressing?

If you're not a fan of making your own dressing, don't. You can use your favorite storebought dressing instead. That makes it super simple and easy to do!

What type of lettuce is the best?

Romaine lettuce is always a great salad option because it has such a nice crunch to it! You can also use a blend of power greens that spinach and kale, too.
