Ahoy all you experts of Cuisine:

Any suggestions about what to serve for lunch along with shrimp salad
on a bed of lettuce?  One of the luncheon guests will be bringing a
melon/berry fruit salad.

Avocado!  I'd serve the salad in an avocado half, or in the center of an
avocado pinwheel set on top of the lettuce.

Sounds like a nice lunch, with fruit, just the way it is, though.

Hmmm....I like that pinwheel avocado idea!  You're right about the
fruit salad........the guests are not LC......I'll have to ask that
they set a portion of the fruit aside for me..........."just the way
it is"!
Thanks, Susan.

Beer would be the ideal accompaniment, but I'm guessing that's probably out.

Just a thought...couldn't resist.  My vote is for the avocado too.

PoohBear,

What is the recipe for your shrimp salad, if you don't mind sharing
it?

BTW, Avocado is good any time.   I would include fresh lemon slices.

Biker,

I don't have a set recipe per se.  I usually get out my trusty old
cookbooks for help:  The Joy of Cooking or a very old edition
published by Good Housekeeping and try to adapt it to LC.  It's turned
out pretty good each time.

I've pretty much decided to go with the avocado, thanks, Biker!
