Greek Shrimp Salad with Chimichurri Dressing
Posted by Aggies Kitchen on February 25th, 2009. Filed under: Healthy Meals, Salad.
I had lots of leftover chimichurri sauce to work with the day after the tilapia. I decided to turn it into a dressing for a salad and throw in some shrimp. I used mostly what I had on hand for a salad, which turned it into a Greek like salad, and it was so good!
This was a perfect light and healthy weeknight meal!

Love anything with feta, and this looks delicious! The sauce is v. similar to one I serve for bread-dipping. Thank you!
