    This month The Creative Cooking Crew’s challenge was a virtual mystery basket similar to the TV show "Chopped". The ingredients inside the basket were, green apple, bacon, vinegar, and nut butter.

    I decided to make an Apple and Shrimp Salad with Spicy Nut Dressing and I absolutely loved the combination of textures and flavors in this salad.

    This salad is so easy to make, it could be a quick midweek meal, or the first course of a fancy dinner.

      The apple shrimp and bacon is a wonderful combo. It's light, but has a night crunch from the bacon. And the spicy peanut butter dressings..I can taste it now.

      Apple and shrimp? That's a very cool idea. I love the lime in the dressing too.
      Another great salad recipe from this challenge. You have taken apples to a much higher plane than it's used to. Must try this idea.
      great recipe for the challenge!

      A number of people chose to make salads and it amazes me that so many can come up with so many different combos! I want to eat each and every one! Yours looks so crunchy and refreshing and shrimp is a natural with peanuts.

      Shrimps and apples are my kid's favorite things - combing them together in a salad is a genius idea as far as they are concerned!
