I felt it was missing something. The dressing was good, but thin and didn't cover the greens as I would like. Overall the recipe was good, but the dressing just needs a little something more.

This was delicious. I left out the pimientos and lettuce. I added cucumber, bell pepper, and tomato.

Added poppy seeds to dressing for a little more zip.

I made this following the original recipe, minus the pimentos, and it was light, however it was lacking flavor. I let the shrimp sit in everything for 2 hours, but the orange flavor never got into the shrimp. Also, there really wasn't enough "dressing" with the mixture to toss with lettuce so I had to add more oil, vinegar and some orange juice. It made a light appetizer salad, but we couldn't make a meal out of it. I don't know if the pimentos would have made a difference, but it needed a little punch and more dressing for me.

Great Lunch Entree or Dinner Side Salad. I added sliced cucumbers and 4 chopped basil leaves. Next time I'll add more basil. Light and refreshing. This is really good!

This recipe was great though the dressing seemed a little bland to me so I added more white wine vinegar, pepper, and about a tablespoon of fresh orange juice. I also added sliced almonds and pine nuts, figuring it would need some crunch. I thought that the amount of pimentos it called for was extremely small, I used a whole chopped one. Only giving it four stars because I did have to make changes, but it was super refreshing. Oh, I probably should mention that I used the "Thai Spiced BBQ Shrimp" recipe, grilled them and then put it on top of the salad. If you haven't tried that recipe-you need to, it's awesome, and the two together are amazing.

Was good... Managed to convince 3 12 year olds to eat it with me, and they cleaned their plates! Added slivered almonds, and used spinach instead of Bibb. Will make again.

I love this salad! Especially with fresh chopped cilantro and mandarine oranges! A beautiful summer dish!

This was ok. The dressing turned out a bit watery, and too "light". I added hard cooked egg to the salad which made it a bit more hearty, and I would do that again. I think I'd add some more spice or kick to the dressing next time, though.

simple and tasty. couple minor tweaks,... chopped almonds were a great addition. we also made a secondary marinade specific for the shrimp and tossed them on the grill; added great taste and texture. good stuff
