Shrimp Salad with Cucumbers and Celery - A healthy shrimp salad you'll love.

Summer Salad

Summer is the perfect time for a light and refreshing salad. When temperatures start to climb, many tend to spend less time in the kitchen and opt for making lighter fare. This Creamy Shrimp Salad is full of bright summer flavors. It combines cool summer cucumbers, celery, Old Bay seasoning, and cooked shrimp for a cold salad that you’ll want to make over and over again. Plus, it’s a quick and easy recipe guaranteed to not heat up the kitchen.

 

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is coming up. How will you celebrate the mothers in your life?

We always celebrate with a special brunch or breakfast. The kids all help out and the menu is usually light and easy. This salad will be one of the items on this year’s menu. It’s easy enough for the kids and it can be made ahead of time. From start to finish, this shrimp salad can be made in less than 10 minutes. Serve it by itself, on top of mixing greens or lettuce, in a sliced croissant or crusty roll for a sandwich (chop the shrimp is using for a salad), or accompanied with toast points. It’s versatile and delicious. Win! Win!

A few friends and I got together to share our delicious Mother’s Day recipes. I hope you like these other Mother’s Day recipes I have to share with you.

    This looks so delicious Nicky! I came out of Lent with shrimp cravings. I want it all of the time now. This looks so light and refreshing and perfect for my husband and I. We like to try new dishes together on Friday nights…………when we aren’t in football season. I hope you have a very special Mother’s Day. You deserve nothing, but the best. My family gets together at the half-way point between where my Aunt lives in Michigan and where we live in Ohio. We pick a restaurant and get a huge table for all of our family. My Grandmother’s health is failing so this will not be a Mother’s Day I take for granted. There will be lots of hugs and kisses for all of our loved ones. I got my first dandelion boquet of the season last night. The Mother’s Day gifts are already coming!

    I love anything with shrimp in it! That looks like the perfect light dinner, or lunch for that matter too. Who am I kidding…if I had leftovers, I’d eat it for breakfast too! Looks delicious!
