This salad is lovely, healthy, simple and delicious. It's a perfect summer recipe because the only cooking required is to boil some shrimp. Slice, dice, juice and you're done!

I buy frozen shrimp and keep it in the freezer to defrost as needed.

The changes that I made: I used a yellow pepper and half of a red onion in place of the red pepper and scallions. I used quartered Campari tomatoes in place of grape tomatoes. I also added fresh basil and made the vinaigrette with red wine vinegar.

Leftovers can be tossed with pasta or rolled up in a wrap for a great sandwich.
