Greek Salad with Shrimp

There are just some days that I don’t feel like cooking…with a flame.  This salad is PERFECT for those types of days.   If you don’t like shrimp you can use just about any protein that you like.  But I think the shrimp keeps this salad light yet filling.  Its perfect for dinner on a hot summer night or for lunch.
