This salad will ring your bells, I promise. The key is melding a purpose-mixed dressing with just the right combination of veggies, herbs, and the protein source. We chose to use cooked shrimp for the protein, which is nearly an ideal source, with very little fat and very low calorie count. As a result, this salad accounts for less than 200 calories per serving (about 4 WW points).
