Fresh Green Pea Salad with Shrimp
toasted almonds, crisp celery and
sliced black olives with a unique curry dressing
This fresh petite green pea and shrimp salad recipe was shared with me by my Aunt Muriel.
I tried it and received rave reviews. Every ingredient compliments
the unique taste making this a "keeper" salad recipe, especially the mild curry dressing that pairs so well
to bring all the ingredients into harmony.
