This heirloom tomato salad with grilled shrimp, mixed greens and goat cheese is a super-simple main-course salad recipe.
Don't miss out on heirloom tomatoes, many of which are harvested in early September. Their rich flavor, unusual shapes and bright colors turn ordinary salads and sandwiches into something special. They're also filled with vitamins A and C, plus powerful phytonutrients that fight cancer and heart disease. Grill protein-rich shrimp for just a couple of minutes, and then combine them with your favorite mixed greens, tomatoes and tangy-tart goat cheese for a super-simple main-dish salad.
A homemade buttermilk chive dressing adds a refreshing final touch.
