SHRIMP AND CAPER SALAD



SHRIMP AND CAPER SALAD image

I GET RAVE REVIEWS AND REQUESTS FOR THIS SALAD. I LIKE SERVING A BUFFET CHOICE OF CHICKEN SALAD, TUNA SALAD, SHRIMP SALAD - WITH OR WITHOUT BREADS, LET THE PERSON CHOOSE WHAT THEY WANT. A PLATE OF CHOPPED TOMATOES AND LETTUCE IS A GOOD ACCOMPANIMENT. A SMALL BOWL OF RANCH DRESSING IS A NICE TOUCH TOO.
