This was pretty simple and good. My family and I enjoyed it. My bowl was pretty full so served the egg wedges on the side so that they could grab what they wanted. Thanks for sharing, Dee.

We love this! I made it for company tomorrow, so I haven't taken a picture yet. Subbed zucchini for the cuke, and added some frozen peas. I had very small, salad shrimp, so the size was just right. Cut tomatoes in fourths. Will go in my Best of file!

This is a very flavorful delicious salad. I left off celery and cucumber in favor of frozen peas and green onions. The Dressing is really good and makes the salad.
