Shrimp Salad

With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought it would be nice to share some of my families favorite holiday recipes. The first one I'd like to share is for something we always referred to as "shrimp salad". We had it every Thanksgiving and Easter growing up, and now I hope to continue the tradition with my own family.

Ingredients:
1 head of iceburg lettuce
2 cans of shrimp
lemon juice
1/2 cucumber
1 can of olives
3 scallions
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 cups miracle whip

Directions:
Chop the lettuce, dice the cucumber, slice the olives and slice the scallions. Drain the shrimp and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Add miracle whip and combine until all ingredients are moist. Season with salt and pepper.
