Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set the shrimp aside to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and capers.

Step 4

Add the cooked shrimp to the bowl of vegetables, then pour the dressing over the top. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly.

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, parsley, and dill over the salad. Toss lightly again to combine.

Step 6

Serve the shrimp and caper salad chilled or at room temperature, either on its own or with crusty bread on the side.
