  • I made this salad per the exact recipe and took it to a dinner party of discerning foodies. Everyone complimented The flavors and presentation. (Not watery at all, but I also seeded the cucumbers.) I used 1/2 of the dressing and am saving the rest for other salads this week.

  • Our dinner club used the complete menu in March 2005 BA.This salad was nothing special. On the other hand, never know if the recipe was really followed. Ha!

  • Salad is good but pour dressing on to just coat, otherwise it is way too much and overpowering. I should have read the other reviews first!

  • Not sure if it was just the midwest shrimp that are subpar on a good day, but I didn't like this recipe. I made it the night before like a reviewer suggested and found the dressing got watery. I just didn't like the flavor combo and found it kindof okay. I wouldn't make it again. Hope others have more luck.

  • This was solid, but not so good that it warrants three forks (which is the rating for "Delicious"). Nice for a quick dinner when you don't want to turn on the stove, assuming you buy pre-cooked shrimp from your fishmonger. I added avocado, and I used Hellman's Light Mayo in the dressing to make it a little healthier. I found I only needed to use about two- thirds of the dressing. Pleasant, but not spectacular.

  • I halved the dressing, using just 1T sugar, skipped the dill, and added 1 tsp minced ginger and 2 cloves garlic, also minced. Delicious and super easy!

  • This is an exceptional no-cook summer meal. The sweet addition of mango complements thte twang of the mustard and vinegar dressing. Quick and easy to prepare. An instant favorite.

  • This was a big hit - light and flavourful. We had a Gewürztraminer and it went very well. I left out the dill altogether - didn't substitute. Had lots of left-over sauce so next time I'd halve the sauce recipe.
