Shrimp & Nectarine Salad image

For a cool salad on a hot summer day, I combine shrimp, corn, tomatoes and nectarines with a drizzle of tarragon dressing. We love it chilled, but it's delectable served right away, too. -Mary Ann Lee, Clifton Park, New York

CARIBBEAN SHRIMP & NECTARINE SALAD

Caribbean Shrimp & Nectarine Salad image

A great salad for those dog days of summer. This has a tangy lime dressing. Peaches or mango can be used instead of nectarines. Make sure they are ripe. Buy precooked shrimp to save time. Cook time is chilling time. Chill plates before serving.
