SHRIMP STARTER SALAD



Shrimp Starter Salad image

This is a lovely way to start your dinner party - The salad makes a colorful presentation and has a great combination of flavors. Double the recipe for larger groups. Serve the salad in individual bowls, arranging each ingredient artistically. Get everything ready ahead of time, except the avocado , slip the ingredients into the fridge in separate bowls then assemble just before serving. Use your favorite dressing or offer a choice of dressings to your guests and let them add it at the table. Personally, I like Zesty Italian dressing. Simple Easy and elegant looking salad! Enjoy
