Arugula Shrimp Salad with Honey Lemon Vinaigrette

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I love an easy, refreshing salad to enjoy on my lunch break and this is one of my favorites! I will never forget where I was when I first tasted this masterpiece! It was at Newk’s Eatery in Waco, Texas. I had just moved to Dallas and was traveling with my boss at the time who loves to try new places, so he went to Yelp and found Newk’s! I ordered this salad and I was smitten from the first bite! I’ve never ordered anything else at Newk’s. I’m sure their other food is quite good, but I can’t seem to pull myself away from this D to the LISH salad! I wanted to see if I could recreate it at home and after a couple attempts at the dressing, I got it!! This salad has minimal ingredients, but is packed with flavor! I used Old Bay seasoning on my shrimp which was sooo good, but you can use whatever type of seasoning you like on your shrimp. Give it a try and you’ll see why I love it so much!
