Greek Shrimp Salad

I love Greek salads, but every time I try and recreate any kind of salad I have had at a restaurant, it never tastes as good or as filling at home. Except for this time! I went to Honeygrow last week and got a delicious Greek chicken salad, and on Thursday, I wanted to recreate, but with shrimp. It was so delicious, even though I substituted certain ingredients and was missing some things I would have liked to have in the salad. You can add whatever you like to your salads, and I think that is why salads shouldn't be so underestimated and undervalued. You can pack them with protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats and you're still eating low-volume, high-satiety foods that will keep you full!
