The recipe is titled Crispy Buffalo Ranch Chicken salad with Goddess dressing – and being that I am a goddess 🙂 I had to see what the ingredients are all about. I do love Buffalo Ranch chicken salad to start with and order the option at any given U.S. restaurant if they are wise enough to offer it on their menu. So, the only difference is this recipe calls for the goddess dressing:

On another topic, recently an event I planned a few weeks ago, I decided to go with the guest luncheon seating in this style, where everyone is part of one long table, rather than seated in separate ones. To me this style seating signify that everyone is just as important a guest as the rest. What are your thoughts? Would you consider the option for a smaller gathering?
