Good for family weeknight
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was easy and good, but not great. Added some ginger, cilantro and red pepper flakes to marinade and left on shrimp for... about 30 minutes - helped somewhat. Added cilantro and a touch of honey to dressing and added avocado and a little feta to salad. Our family ate it all and would probably make again in a pinch, but I definitely wouldn't serve it at a dinner party. The lime juice from the grilled lime is a nice touch but don't over-grill b/c the limes will turn to bitter mush. Also added a little smoked salt over everything to contrast the citrus.Read more

A Simple and Great Meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family enjoyed this meal. The kids, 16 to 20 in age, have picky appetites, but they enjoyed this recipe. It will become... a staple in our house. The dressing was very tasty. I don't know why others had a problem with it. ~~WalstibRead more

Bland, boring, and blah!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

It seems as though her recipes look decent enough on TV, but even though I am a skilled cook this one was bland and... tasteless.Read more
