Classic Shrimp Louie Salad

Classic Shrimp Louie Salad

 

Paradise Found!

 

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like sitting in a restaurant with an ocean view enjoying a light healthy salad while sipping on a nice glass of iced tea or chardonnay? Truthfully, I fantasize about it everyday!  Even though we live near several amazing seafood restaurants with this view, there is nothing more rewarding in my opinion than creating restaurant quality meals at home!

 

This last Friday I had a craving for a Classic Shrimp Louie Salad! I started pulling items out of my fridge and low and behold I had all of the fixings to create this simple salad, including the classic Thousand Island Dressing that is traditionally served with it! Now, there are really no rules here when creating this salad. You can use all of the listed ingredients below or not, the choice is yours.  Add more veggies to it or spruce it up even more by adding crab!  I love how versital this salad is and how it truly satisfies my need for seafood!
