This Greek Shrimp Salad is a light, refreshing and EASY meal. Loaded with a secret blend of spices, freshly chopped vegetables and grilled shrimp, this healthy meal is equally delicious and filling!

How about we come off the sugar high from the last two weeks and enjoy a delicious Greek Shrimp Salad?

Don’t know what I’m talking about? Then you really should take a cruise back in time to cherish the raw strawberry cake, light Greek strawberry cheesecake bars, chocolate raspberries quinoa brownies and raspberry fudge you missed.

Oh, my! My mouth is watering just thinking about all those goodies.

So let’s get back to basics and detox from all that fun summer party food, and a salad is just what you and I need for that!

This Greek Shrimp Salad is a light, refreshing and EASY meal. Loaded with a secret blend of spices, freshly chopped vegetables and grilled shrimp, this healthy meal is equally delicious and filling!

This Greek Shrimp Salad was inspired by a Mediterranean cafe near my house. The food is always so fresh and amazing, and these days with the heat it’s the perfect balance of light and filling. 

So when I received my Sizzlefish shipment last month, I knew the shrimp was destined to become part of this Greek Shrimp Salad.

I’ve been on a mission to recreate this dish for a couple months, but haven’t been able to get it quite right. There was something in the blend of seasonings in the dressing and salad that I just couldn’t quite put my finger on.

Then finally, I cracked the code. Marjoram! That one itty bitty seasoning made all the difference in balancing the flavors and making them brighter.

I swear I should have a part time job cracking recipes from restaurants. But when you find something you really love, recreating it just seems like the right thing to do. Okay, maybe there’s an ounce of curiosity there too. ;0)

This Greek Shrimp Salad is a light, refreshing and EASY meal. Loaded with a secret blend of spices, freshly chopped vegetables and grilled shrimp, this healthy meal is equally delicious and filling!

So if you’re looking for a light, refreshing and EASY meal, this Greek Shrimp Salad is it!

It’s loaded with freshly chopped veggies, topped with grilled shrimp and a balsamic drizzle and seasoned to perfection. It’s a healthy meal you can feel good about eating!

    Now this is my kind of summer lunch (or dinner), Megan! I love all of the flavors in Greek salad, and shrimp is so easy to prepare. Cheers for recreating a favorite here. Now I just wish I had a nice big bowl of this one already prepared in my fridge for later today. 🙂

      You know Greece is the one European place I’ve never been too, but have always wanted to go. Agh, maybe someday. So jealous!
