  • Way too many calories for me to try but sounds tasty.

    Too many calories - over 600 for a salad - that is way too many.

  • Absolutely out of this world!

    Excellent salad, yes cal count is high but it is packed with good nutrition. For those watching cals as do I, this salad is perfect for a lunch where your cal count should be higher anyway. Lighter foods in the evening hours as we become less active. Just a suggestion for greek salad lovers as myself. Great with good bread drizzle olive oil instead of butter and nice white wine or ice tea. Enjoy!

    If you want to reduce the calories, omit the feta cheese and olives.
    Use a vinaigrette (Italian--Good Seasons !) dressing instead of the creamy dressing. The colors and tastes of the vegetables are very good, the caramelized onion is easier on the stomach, and the shrimp are delicious. I would add a hunk of french bread.
