My new favorite salad.  I sauteed the shrimp with a lot of spice.  Great combination of flavors!

disappointed
I was really looking forward to this salad, but was very disappointed. Overall, very flavorless. Next time I'll use spicier shrimp and a different dressing altogether.
Pros: variety of ingredients
Cons: very bland

Hung Jury on repeat performance with this salad
I made this for my mom and sister for lunch and it was definitely mix reviews.  My sister didn't like the vinegar in the dressing which she said was way to vinegary and my mom was not a fan of the artichokes.  I loved it so it may be a hung jury to repeat this one, at least for when we all have lunch together!
Pros: Easy to make
Cons: Vinegar too strong

Wonderful Salad
This is a wonderful salad.  I did replace capers for the anchovy paste.  I also chopped everything but the lettuce and tossed it with the dressing to make it easier to take on a picnic.  Then I served the salad on a bed of lettuce.  Yumm!
Pros: The dressing is awesome!
Cons: I do not care for the anchovy paste.
