Summer Shrimp Salad With Cilantro

Recipe #286727 | 20 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Melvin'sWifey

This is really tasty and very easy to whip up. It's great as a side dish, or a light lunch. I've made it using cilantro and when I don't have Cilantro, I use basil. Both are very delicious! This salad is easy to make substitutions if you don't have one or two of the ingredients on hand. Enjoy, and of course, don't wait until summer to try!
