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.

Making me hungry an its only 5:30 a.m. looks great!
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?
Oohh, yummy! I’ve got just a few shrimp in my freezer just waiting for this recipe, but I didn’t know it until now! I’m glad I found your post through the Recipe Sharing Monday Link party.
