A few months ago, while I was planning the menu for my husband’s birthday dinner, I stumbled across a 1950’s recipe for Green Goddess Dressing with Seafood Salad from Better Homes & Gardens magazine. It looked so good–and different–that I decided to try it. Suffice to say, it was amazing!
Even so, not every day is a birthday, which means I don’t always have time to whip up dressing from scratch. And that’s why I decided to come up with a quick & simple “cheater” version that serves up (almost) all of the flavor in a lot less time!
And while it might seem fancy, this dish is deceptively easy and a fresh twist on the “one pot” trend. And the shrimp and lobster are just hearty enough for the salad to serve as an entree or as a luxurious side dish—definitely the perfect addition to any celebration!
Here is what you need:
5 oz. washed salad greens 1 fennel bulb, cut into thin slices 1 can hearts of palm, drained and sliced thin 1 lb cooked shrimp, tails removed 1/2 cup cooked lobster tail, chopped into bite size pieces 1 bottle Green Goddess salad dressingStep 1: Wash then slice the fennel into thin pieces.
Step 2: Drain hearts of palm and then slice.
Step 3: In a large bowl mix together, salad greens, sliced fennel and sliced hearts of palm. Add cooked shrimp and lobster, then drizzle with 4 tablespoons of green goddess dressing and enjoy!
This extra special salad is the perfect way to make any meal a celebration!

The article is very easy to understand, detailed and meticulous! I had a lot of harvest after watching this article from you! I find it interesting, your article gave me a new perspective! I have read many other articles on the same topic, but your article convinced me!
Loving this light and refreshing salad! I have yet to try a Green Goddess dressing. I REALLY want to try it now with this seafood recipe. YUM!
Look delicious!
Was just mentioning to my Prince Charming yesterday that I should try to make a seafood salad! Ha! The prepackaged salads are so mayo-heavy. This recipe sounds lighter and more flavorful. Thanks for reading my mind!!
