Here's my recipe! It's an interpretation of Applebee's Thai Shrimp Salad.
It makes a very large entree sized salad, about 400 calories.
The original recipe called for wonton strips and chopped peanuts or sliced almonds,
but I didn't want the extra calories and didn't think the salad needed them.
You can also use any protein you want, chicken was the easiest.
Add or subtract the salad veggies to your own tastes.
Enjoy!
