Recipe of the day: Grilled Corn and Shrimp Salad!

We have another exciting recipe for all the foodies out there: Grilled Corn and Shrimp Salad. This refreshing, tasteful dish is one of my personal favorites.  Featuring our D'Oni Moondance Marinade (our most popular marinade from the D'Oni line), this delicious dressing pairs up wonderfully with salads and vegetables. This soy, cilantro marinade is all natural, fruit sweetened, and fat free!

D'Oni- Moondance Marinade

An all natural, preservative free,innovative blend of soy sauce, cilantro, chili, garlic, green onions and rice vinegar. Moondance Marinade is an exquisite enhancement to all foods grilled, saut©ed, broiled or dipped. Moondance Marinade is delightful on everything from steak to Portobello mushrooms and works especially well with salmon, seared ahi, tofu, cucumbers and potstickers.
The flavor of Moondance Marinade penetrates through and through to enhance and not overwhelm. One you've tried Moondance Marinade we believe you will agree...this is one fantastic marinade!
