When it comes to the summer, we want to have a cool and refreshing bite, and this Chopped Shrimp Salad fits the bill! Shrimp partners up with a creamy base and crisp veggies to create a salad that’ll become a summertime favorite! 

What’s in Chopped Shrimp Salad?

Shrimp — After the all of the shrimp are peeled, deveined, and cooked, they are chopped into bite-sized pieces.
Celery — Provides a crunchy and refreshing element to the salad. 
Mayonnaise — A bit goes a long way. You can substitute half of the mayonnaise with unflavored Greek yogurt. 
Cucumbers — Cutting the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces allows for the fresh crunch to be evenly distributed throughout the salad.
Lemon — Like with the mayonnaise, a bit of lemon goes a long way, but it is quite necessary.
Dill — Chopped fresh dill gives a rejuvenating herbal note to the dish. 

The preparation is super simple. Once all of the ingredients are prepped, they all get mixed together into one bowl. 

A brief cooldown in the refrigerator allows the flavors to blend together, plus this salad tastes a whole lot better when it’s cold.

Whether you serve this Chopped Shrimp Salad on top of a salad, in cucumber boats, or in between toasted buns, it is a delightful refreshing bite that cools you down. 

The crunchy celery and cucumber provide great texture to the salad. Lemon and dill give the salad fresh, bright notes of flavor and prevent the shrimp from being lost in the creaminess of the salad. 

It’s a great salad to prepare ahead of time for a workday lunch or a weekend barbecue. It’s simple without being simple in flavor.
