Guest Post: Potluck Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

While I'm in Ohio for a few days of family and fun adventures, I've got a couple of guest bloggers lined up to share some great recipes. Today, my #SundaySupper friend Cathy from Delaware Girl Eats is sharing a fabulous Summer potluck salad recipe. There's just something about a cool, refreshing salad on a hot Summer day...and layered salads have such a big visual impact!!

I’m happy to be here today sitting in for Wendy who is off on a well-deserved break. And, since it’s June, the month of graduations, family reunions and church socials, I am offering a salad that will feed a crowd. Think of this as free-form expression of garden delights. The idea is to present layers of colors and textures so that the salad is as enticing to view on a buffet as its ingredients are tasty to eat. 

While I am offering an ingredient list, your imagination and the availability of ingredients are the only limit to what you might include in this composed salad. And, to top off this salad experience, I am resurrecting a well-loved dressing from the past – green goddess dressing. Its lemony, herbal and creamy flavors complement any salad composition.
