Mediterranean Salad Ala Chef Dennis & Blogger party

As soon as I read Chef Dennis’ post about Mediterranean Salad, I knew we had to try it soon, especially with all of the garden greens we’re harvesting. We changed it up a little by grilling our shrimp and adding more of them – this was our entire meal. I planned it around the pound of crab I’d gotten out of the freezer and used about half for the crab frittata and half for our three salads.

Bev bought a loaf of Italian bread and made croutons and picked the greens while I was in town that morning and when I got home I got the shrimp ready to grill. You can see Dennis’ recipe by clicking on the link above and our ingredients list is below. Bev tossed the greens – romaine & leaf lettuces and spinach, celery, and carrots with some Newman’s Caesar Dressing, then everyone built their own salad from:

Chopped green onion
Green olives
Kalamata olives
Grape tomatoes
Cooked penne pasta
Crumbled Feta cheese
Marinated artichoke hearts
Croutons
Shrimp – dusted with Old Bay and basted with butter/garlic/lemon sauce while grilling – added warm to the salad.
Crab
Grated parmesan

Here’s mine and it was absolutely delicious.  I covered many of my goodies with shrimp.

Thanks Dennis for a great meal.

Double click on the above for details of our upcoming blogger party. We discovered that we scheduled it for Father's Day, but decided to proceed - treat Dad to a day trip to Almost Heaven South. Several folks have already committed, but I'd like to hear from everyone by June 1 who plans to attend - email grandpop1@yahoo.com. We want to be sure we have plenty of food, but don't want to overbuy.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
