Shrimply Good Salad

I love shrimp because they are a great source of protein as well as potassium and calcium and low in calories.  They make for a tasty treat whether in a stir fry, curry or simply chopped and added to some chopped egg, celery, onion and carrot for a great lettuce topper and a yummy lunch or dinner. 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound large peeled and deveined cooked shrimp
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 large carrot shredded
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 2 hard boiled eggs
• ¾ cup 0% Greek yogurt ( I use Fage)
• Salt, pepper and Dijon mustard to taste

Directions:

1. Chop the shrimp
2. Chop the hard boiled eggs
3. Mix the shrimp.  Eggs, celery, onion and carrot together in a bowl, tossing until well mixed
4. Add the yogurt, salt, pepper and a little Dijon mustard for a bit of extra pizzazz
5. Blend all ingredients together
6. Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to mix and intensify
7. Serve on a bed of lettuce with a side of sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, topping with a sprig of parsley for an attractive luncheon plate.
