SEAFOOD SALAD WITH WARM CITRUS DRESSING



Seafood Salad with Warm Citrus Dressing image

This flavorful salad is nice to serve when the evenings are getting cool, at the end of the summer. I always add the edible flowers, if I can find them (or I have some on my zucchini plants), but they are by no means necessary to make this recipe delicious!
