It’s a summer classic for a reason. You can serve it for lunch or dinner, and bring it to the beach, barbecue or potluck. Use leftover grilled chicken or use a rotisserie chicken to make it super simple. The best part? You can use whatever you have in your fridge to customize it. Below, we’re sharing a delicious version from Habitual Hostess that features their signature Green Goddess dressing. As Bethenny would say, it’s devoon!
