Stunning summer salad

I should have known. The Grand Prize winner of the Southern Living Cook-Off is going to be spectacular. My go-to cookie recipe is a former winner - fudgy bon-bons. Tonight's dinner was no exception. The 2004 winner was Grilled Shrimp, Orange and Watermelon Salad w/ Peppered Peanuts in a Zesty Citrus Dressing. And as long as that title is, it still doesn't cover all of the flavors. The salad includes edamame, ginger, garlic, basil and hoisin sauce. It looks gorgeous too - so many colors. I should have saved this one for company! Zeb and I opened up a Chardonnay and enjoyed a good chat on our newly refinished kitchen table.

P.S. Don't you think the winner looks like Mary Alice from Desparate Housewives?
