This is the recipe that my mom made when I was small. It is still one of my favorites. Some friends add a little green onion to the recipe. My kids and I just aren't raw onion fans. Enjoy!

SALAD VICTORIA

This cold appetizer is healthy, elegant and bursting with rich, tangy flavour thanks to the combination of shrimp, lemon juice and truffle oil. Wish I'd made it up, but it was actually created by a palace chef for Queen Victoria - it was one of her favourites!
