Make Savoy Cabbage Shrimp Salad

Memorial Day is upon us, which is a terrifying reminder of how time is flying. It felt like yesterday when we were beginning the year and now look at us! This salad is something you might want to make to take to a barbecue. I feel like Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff of all things summer and this salad is a nice combination of refreshing and light.

If youve never had pickled shrimp before, youre in for a treat. I usually have pickled shrimp in a southern context. My favorite salad on the entire planet might be a pickled shrimp salad with buttermilk dressing. Perhaps Ill share that iteration another day; today its this one!

My favorite part of this salad is how the pickling liquid is reused as the main ingredient in the dressingwaste not! A bit of olive oil and sesame oil add some nice flavor and richness to this otherwise super light salad. The celery and scallions and jalapeño add awesome flavor. I could eat this salad over and over. And while, its the best thing to serve to a large group, feel free to halve it for a smaller portion.
