Who you calling shrimp salad?

Eat too many chocolates for Valentine's? Yep, me too. This recipe will get you back on track with eating right.

Many times, I'm left with bits of vegetables at the end of the week prior to grocery shopping. Not enough to make anything substantial, but just enough to enjoy. My Spicy Shrimp Salad puts all those good veggies to work. The best thing about this salad is that it's low in Weight Watchers points, but high on flavor.

Only 2 things in the recipe I bought at the commissary or had shipped to me. However, you may have canned black beans at your local supermarket. The salsa is important as well, as we'll use this to make a dressing. If you absolutely cannot get salsa, try some canned tomatoes, canned chilies or something else that is low in calories.

Spicy Shrimp Salad - makes1 good sized serving
Lettuce, chopped/shredded
1/4 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup red or yellow bell pepper, diced
1/4-1/3 cup tomatoes, diced (the tiny grape sized ones are in season here right now and are especially good for this recipe)
1/4 cup of canned or frozen corn, rinsed (I prefer the canned variety on the local market since it tastes fresher)
1/4 cup black beans, rinsed (Fiber, fiber, fiber)
1/2 cup medium frozen shrimp, thawed and diced
1/4 avocado, peeled and diced
1 piece of turkey bacon, crumbled (Yeah, yeah...I had some leftover from the weekend. Who can resist avocado and bacon?)
1 TBsp of sour cream and 2 TBsp of salsa, mixed

Combine everything. The sour cream and salsa serve as the salad dressing. If you want, use low fat or fat free sour cream for even more dressing. The salad is 7 Weight Watchers points.

Hope you enjoy this one because I certainly have :)!
