White Bean, Arugula and Shrimp Salad
by
This salad combines creamy cannellini beans with crisp shrimp and peppery Arugula for a warm salad that’s packed with flavor. Serve as a main dish salad or as an accompaniment to an entrée of grilled fish or chicken. The salad is a snap to prepare if you ask your fish monger to steam the shrimp, or if you have leftover grilled shrimp from a weekend cookout.
