Make this a main-dish salad, or put it in an appetizer buffet for extra-good grazing. No matter what, I serve it with little bowls of chili sauce for dipping. -Maruja Hughes, Toronto, Ontario

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

Easy to make and very tasty. I added a bit of feta cheese to the salad and it was even better.

This grilled shrimp and tomato salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the tomato salad was so refreshing. I will definitely be making this again.
