Shrimp and tomato salad is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines freshness and sophistication of flavors. Tenderly cooked shrimp harmonize beautifully with juicy tomatoes and crunchy cucumbers, while green beans add a touch of zest. A light citrus dressing with lemon, oregano, and mustard enhances the taste of seafood and vegetables, creating a balance of sweet and sour notes. The finishing touch is soft feta cheese that adds creaminess and richness to the salad. This salad is perfect as a light summer lunch or an elegant appetizer for a festive dinner, providing pleasure with every bite.
