Dill Shrimp Salad
I love dill, so I was glad to find this recipe in the South Beach Diet Book - the original one. I've made a few modifications - I can never stop tinkering with a recipe - so I'm presenting my version here. Once again, this is for 1 portion.
Ingredients:
5 medium shrimp (16-20 count), peeled and de-veined.
3-4 leaves of Romaine Lettuce
5-8 Grape tomatoes
Thinly sliced cucumber
Thinly sliced Red Onion
Dressing Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon water
1 Tablespoon dried dill (you can use fresh, but I most often have the dried)
1 Teaspoon dried basil
1 Teaspoon of Grey Poupon Country Dijon mustard
1 Teaspoon chopped garlic
Directions
Cook the shrimp and remove the tails. Break up the Romaine and put it on a nice salad plate (I like the glass ones). Place the cucumbers in the center, top with tomatoes. Place the shrimp in a circle around that, then sprinkle the red onion over the top.

Salmon Salad
I've been on a salmon kick lately. I didn't eat salmon for years because my mother always made canned salmon with mayo like she did with tuna - yuck! (not the tuna, just the salmon.
A couple of years ago, I had a salad from the Whole Foods Market salad bar that was yummy. It was made of salmon, bow tie pasta, red onion and caper berries. Since I'm doing the South Beach diet, I tried to make a substitute that didn't include the pasta so that it's phase 1 compatible.
This is for 1 serving.
Put about 3 leaves of Romaine lettuce (broken into pieces) on a plate.
Put a single serve piece of salmon on top.
Put thinly sliced red onion on top of the salmon
Top with a tablespoon of capers (I really like capers)
Add some of the juice from the bottle.
Drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Enjoy!
