Salads

Shrimp and Pasta Salad

What a glorious Son (yes, I meant Son, not sun :)) filled day here in California. After the awesome Easter services yesterday, I realiazed that I need to give our great God more and more of my praise and adoration.
This recipe is taken off Mixin-Bowl web site and is really good. I added a little (about 1/4 cup) purple onion for a little extra bite, plus about 1/2 teas garlic powder and 1 teas dried dill to the dressing. Added a little more flavor to the salad.
