I made this last night for dinner. I did add some tiny shrimp along with the crabmeat to make a "seafood" salad. I also added a little chopped celery. The flavor is amazing. I can't wait to eat the leftovers tonight. Thank you for posting! :)

I am a huge fan of Green Goddess salad dressing, that's what appealed to me when looking at this recipe. I made this for a small group and served with sliced avocado and everyone raved about it. So easy to make, and Was a definite keeper. Thanks for Sharing, ~V

I really changed this recipe according to what I had in the refridgerator. I just want to thank you for giving me a great way to put it all together. Rotini pasta instead of shell, radishes instead of cucumbers, some green onions and a few sliced black olives and avocado rounded out this salad for me. DH loved it and I will definately make again.

Yummmmmy!!! I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I inadvertently left out the pasta. I bought it just for this recipe and planned to cook it before making the rest of the salad, and I don't know what happened! Anyway, it was still fabulous! I made my own green goddess dressing mix based on some recipes I found. This was fast and easy and I'll be trying it with pasta real soon, but I'll be making it without it again for sure! Thanks MsSally!

"That was excellent...truly, truly excellent!" A quote from my mom after eating this salad and I have to agree. I made the recipe as written and we ate it by itself with a few slices of avocado. Delish! Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe, MsSally!
