Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp Salad by Salad Foodie

Originally mayo was the dressing for this salad recipe from a friend long ago, but I decided to give it a make-over.

The recipe makes enough for a crowd or potluck, so cut down by one third or two thirds if needed.

Tapioca Mousse by Sherwin Faden

If you don't live New England, you use chopped canned clams, but even better are fresh chopped clams carried in many seafood markets. Be sure to save the juice to use in the chowder.
