1/2 c canola or vegetable oil

The shrimp in my salad were a bit overcooked. I'll be sure to cook them for less time next time.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I loved this salad! The dressing is so good that it even made the shrimp taste delicious.

The dressing for this salad is so versatile. I've used it on other salads and even as a marinade for chicken.

I love the crunch of the almonds in this salad. It adds a nice textural contrast to the shrimp and celery.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. It's also a great make-ahead salad for busy weeknights.
