White Wine Garlic Shrimp Garden Salad

I love me a good salad, but it can get real boring really quickly. Last week, I decided to throw together some produce I had, and make use of the shrimp we had in a different way. After perusing Pinterest for some inspiration, here’s a mashup of what I came up with.
