SHRIMP AND MIXED GREEN DINNER SALAD
With summer upon us what a wonderful way to enjoy a satisfying meal without heating up the kitchen. Fresh mixed baby greens complimented with luscious ripe strawberries and salad shrimp that is topped off with sugared walnuts and a dressing of your choosing. I served this with a Balsamic Vinaigrette. Serve this with a crusty baguette for a complete summer meal.

Steps:
- Toss the walnut halves with water and vinegar; place in a heavy skillet over medium heat and toast until water and vinegar have evaporated; sprinkle with the sugar and warm, stirring frequently until the sugar melts and coats the nuts; set aside to cool.
- Divide the baby greens between two well chilled salad plates; assemble the salad by distributing each plate with zucchini slices, 6 of the strawberries sliced and feta cheese.
- Top with shrimp, quarter the boiled eggs and divide evenly on each of the plates. Cut the reserved strawberries from bottom to stem without cutting through stem. Fan out slices and place on top of salad.
- Drizzle each salad with prepared dressing of your choosing and enjoy.

MIXED GREENS WITH RASPBERRY WALNUT DRESSING
This is a Robin Miller recipe from the Food Network show Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller. It is very good if you like sweet dressings. We eat this salad often. If you are like me and do not care for fish, then the walnuts is a great way to get in some Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Whisk together raspberry preserves, oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
- Arrange lettuce on salad plates. Top lettuce with dressing and walnuts just before serving.
- My tips: I put all the dressing ingredients in a small tupperware container with a screw on lid and just shake. Much easier and quicker than trying to whisk. Or if you are down to the last little bit of preserves in your jar - just add ingredients to the jar, seal and shake. I also add a couple of tablespoons of water to it as well to kind of thin it out. I usually make it in the morning or the night before and have it ready to go by dinner time. I also sometimes add a sprinkle of feta cheese as well.
RASPBERRY BALSAMIC -WALNUT VINAIGRETTE
I can't think of a better way to dress a spring salad mix of baby greens, or as a delicious accent to some of autumn's stronger-tasting field greens. And it's wonderful on spinach or fruit salads. Add more of either oil if you wish; but remember that a little walnut oil goes a long way. Make it "gifty" by bottling the dressing decoratively and adding a few fresh raspberries to the bottle.

SHRIMP & BABY GREENS WITH WALNUT RASPBERRY DRESSING
I made this salad for a picnic potluck, It was a really big hit. I took everything along in icebox and put it together at the picnic. Easy to increase or decrease the recipe to fit the occasion, nice for a dinner party or a summer meal. I left the tails on the shrimp for looks, this makes a very pretty salad.
