Shrimp Salad Toss Recipe

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 quarts torn crisp greens (romaine, bibb, leaf, or head lettuce, raw spinach)
  • 4 tomatoes, peeled and cut in wedges
  • 8 radishes, sliced
  • 1 pound shrimp, cooked, cleaned, and chilled
  • 1 cup small blue-cheese crackers

Mash garlic and salt together with a fork on a piece of waxed paper or in a wooden bowl until garlic disintegrates and mixes with salt. Add to mayonnaise with lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Chill until ready to use.

At serving time, place crisp greens in a salad bowl. Arrange tomatoes, radishes, shrimp, and crackers over greens. Add chilled dressing and toss lightly until greens are well coated. Serve at once.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
