Bay Shrimp Cobb Salad

Bay Shrimp Cobb Salad with Paleo Dressing

Happy Thursday! Sharing a fun and healthy recipe today… A pescetarian twist on the Cobb Salad, using Bay Shrimp as the protein base instead of bacon. Yup, you heard that right folks… I am bringing back the Bay Shrimp! Growing up, I used to snack on them regularly, but somewhere along the line I realized that I rarely saw Bay Shrimp on any menus.

One day I noticed them on display in the fish counter at my local Whole Foods and once I tried them again I was hooked, lined and sinkered. 🙂

After a little research, I found an amazing recipe for Paleo French dressing, which makes the perfect accompaniment to this healthy and tasty dish.

Be sure to roast the beets ahead of time… you can even do it the night before. Or if you are in a time crunch, you can often find roasted beets on the salad bar at Whole Foods.
