This green goddess salad dressing is my own concoction. It does not truly reflect the traditional ingredients. But as it is named after the colour more than the contents I think I am OK with that.

Head straight on to the Recipe For Green Goddess Salad Dressing ♥
How long after a new supermarket opens do you wait before going there for the first time? A new shopping centre has been built close to where I live. It was meant to open last year but they ran into all sorts of problems. Eventually on the 1st of September they had their opening. There was much hype about the centre containing an independent supermarket. They were going to offer the best in the way of fresh produce. Have an onsite bakery and butcher. And sell the normal staple household goods. A week after they opened I went in to see what was going on. We needed a few things for dinner including ingredients to make a fresh salad. The vegetables were cheap, but the quality reflected that. I chose only two items that I would use straight away as I knew nothing else would last.

I took a walk around, looking at produce and pricing. And I made a note of the price of the free range chicken. I then got into a long queue and it was chaotic. The express till is at the end, but you have to wait in the general line to get to it. When the manager on duty was made aware of this, she attempted to sort it out. But not in a way I was comfortable with. She basically pushed aside a group of women each buying one item to make sure the person in front of me who had complained, got served first. I walked out, leaving the ingredients behind and went to the local store I always support. They did not have the same salad ingredients, but that did not really matter. I made a green cabbage slaw with my green goddess salad dressing instead.
