    I served this with roasted potatoes and grilled tri tip. I added mixed greens right in as a "stuffer" and served it as a side dish. Not sure my family would eat it as a dinner meal without needing a second meal shortly there after but my five year old son ate a huge bowl. It was his idea to make it since he watched the episode of Ellie's show where she prepared this. I would make it again. Perfect for lunch in the hot summer!

    This is very delicious. I never thought mint and shrimp and cucumber would work together, but they really do.

    This was very tasty and so quick to prepare! The only change I made was to use frozen cooked shrimp instead of raw. A good summer salad.
