Shrimp Angel Hair Cabbage Salad
with Lime Dressing
This beautiful Minnesota Autumn day has me craving something fresh and light. It’s 80 degrees, sunny, no humidity, and the leaves have all changed in brilliant shades of orange, red, and yellow. As I heard someone say this morning who is visiting from California, “this is what I miss most…the beautiful change of seasons”. Yes, it definitely makes the coming of those chilly Winter days much easier to accept.
My Shrimp Angel Hair Cabbage Salad is low calorie, light and fresh, and makes a perfect lunch that not only satisfies, it delivers a flavorful punch. The slightly sweet tangy lime dressing has a hint of heat from the Serrano chili’s and a nice garden freshness from the green onions and cilantro. It’s easy to prepare and serves two lunch sized salads.
I hope you are experiencing the same beautiful weather wherever you may be…take your lunch outside and enjoy!
