Shrimp and crab salad…

And at this point I have the two main ingredients, as well as shredded lettuce, sliced black olives, green onions and a large avocado. I also have some salad dressing (still deciding between lemon evo and thousand island.

If you were making this salad, what other items would you add ?
I don’t care for mayonnaise, and green onions are the only ones I’m not allergic to.

(If you don’t like seafood, this is probably not the question for you.😉)

Ah.. you do know how thousand island dressing is made?

I mention this because of something you said you don't like.

If you use a different dressing than thousand Island you might consider relish, yet then you're running into the onion problem.

Would add olives.

Fry up the shrimp in extra virgin olive oil and butter, add crushed garlic or garlic powder.

The garlic really depends if you are using a dressing that may have garlic in it.

You don't want to overdo the garlic.

@DeWayfarer This is helpful, thank you. I know that thousand island has mayonnaise in it, I just don’t care for mayonnaise alone.
I’m leaning towards the other dressing, which is a bit lighter.
Great idea with the shrimp, and will add the olives. 😄
