Greek shrimp salad

Greek shrimp salad

It is impossible to imagine neither Greece nor Greek salad without olives. But for some reason the shrimp, which the Greeks love too, are not in this salad, although they fit well into the overall taste.

In fact, it is impossible to put everything that grows on plantations and floats in coastal waters in every dish, but nobody forbids experimenting, therefore we will experiment with the national salad instead of the Greeks.

Nothing fundamental will be done - only the basic recipe plus shrimp, and also red pepper will also be replaced with sweet yellow.
