MY NOTE: Yummy! I love this on sandwiches. I used mini shrimps, which were great for the sandwich, but big shrimp might be better for a salad. I did the arugula/basil version which was really great. The arugula added a nice sharpness to the whole thing. I used cucumber instead of fennel and plain white onion instead of red. Love! But careful, this recipe makes A LOT of salad!
