That looks delicious Csalt - thanks!!

I'm no cordon bleu cook, just a homemaker, but I made this last summer when our neighbours came for a buffet lunch and they really liked it..so did DH and I.:)
 
The main ingredients are like a recipe I have, but it calls for ranch dressing. I think I will try yours sometime.
