Here is a refreshing salad for the summer! Mom always made it at Christmas time, but I like it any time of the year. It truly is refreshing. I hope you will enjoy this. Try it and let us know what you think!
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds Shrimp, Steamed, peeled, cooled (no seasoning)
- 1.5 pounds Calamari (squid) Rings (and Tentacles if they don’t gross you out—they are sweeter than the rings!), steamed, cooled
- 2 Medium or 1-1/2 large Onions, sliced very thin
- 5 or 6 Stalks Celery (my stalks were each about 9” long), chopped on the smaller size
- 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt (essential) (taste after salad is made, may add ½ teaspoon additional salt)
- ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ head Lettuce
Instructions:
- Cut the shrimp in half if they are large
- Separate the pieces of onions from the slices
In a large bowl with a lid:
- Add all ingredients
- Toss (do this by putting the lid on and rolling and gently turning over the bowl several times)
- Cover, Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours
When ready to serve, add chopped lettuce (essential to avoid wilt, which will make salad mushy)
Note: I like to chill overnight before serving.
