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!

YUM! I am a huge greek salad fan and the addition of shrimp is just perfect. That dressing looks amazing. Hope you have a good Wednesday
This is so perfect. The shrimp and the chimichurri have my mouth watering.
I have GOT to make that sauce! It looks super good, especially on this salad!
This looks like such a perfect meal — weeknight, weekday, weekend, you name it!
Take off the shrimp and I’m sold.
I think this would be GREAT with grilled chicken too!
Love anything with feta, and this looks delicious! The sauce is v. similar to one I serve for bread-dipping. Thank you!
This looks so good and summery Aggie! I love chimichurri – need to make it soon!
Sounds very tasty. I made chimichurri sauce once and really enjoyed. I’ll have to try this one!
YUM!!! Loving greek salads!
Oh my goodness, is this ever a fabulous looking and yet I bet a fantastic tasting salad!!! Ah, you always do it with flair Aggie.
Looks great. I’ll have to try the chimichurri dressing. Interesting.
This salad sounds really good. Nice combination of flavours!
