Tip

Ripen Garden Tomatoes

To ripen green garden tomatoes, put them in brown paper bags. Don't stack too many in one bag, or they might get bruised. Check them every few days and remove the ripe ones. —Delia Kennedy, Deer Park, Washington

Light-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Nice alternative to a plain caesar salad. I make this for a quick dinner with a loaf of crusty bread.  I use the grape tomatoes too.  And yes, add the shrimp at the last minute.

I made this salad twice recently, once for a bridal shower. My family particularly liked it. However, if you have to hold it for any length of time, don't add the shrimp until just before serving so the crispiness of the shrimp coating doesn't get soggy. Also, I used whole grape tomatoes because it's easier than chopping a whole one, and the size is about the same as the shrimp. Use small tortellinis, too, if you can. Excellent quick and easy dinner salad for summer!
