This salad dressing has always a big hit when I make it for big gatherings where I toss it simply with the salad ingredients listed below. (The shrimp is optional as some people may have seafood allergies.) Leftover dressing can be kept up to 2 weeks when refrigerated, but I doubt it'll last even that long. With summer almost upon us, fresh greens from the farmer's market will soon be in abundance! But I can imagine that this dressing would be wonderful as a dip for raw veggies, drizzled over grilled chicken, or even grilled/planked salmon! :-)
