I make similar Greek inspired salads every few weeks. I pretty much make them with whatever I have on hand. And this is not a traditional Greek salad by any means. It is just a Greek inspired salad with shrimp. Adding lettuce makes this salad more filling, which is important if you are trying to eat.
