Summer is the perfect time for salads! They made a tasty main dish, and best of all they are easy to make ahead and have waiting after a busy day. This Raspberry Shrimp Salad is a simple and cool supper for summer.
I made a simple vinagrette dressing for this using Raspberries, oil and vinegar, but you could make the recipe even simpler by purchasing a Raspberry Dressing. But even with making your own dressing this can be on the table (or in the refrigerator) in less than 15 minutes.

I presume that you toss the remaining raspberries (1/2 cup goes into the dressing) with the greens before you top with dressing or do you just sprinkle them on top after the dressing is applied?
