    Hello Veggy’s post didn’t go live on time so the potlucks’s organizers asked me to change my link to the next one in the chain.

    I like it. I often use bean “mush” (my own version of hummus) as a dressing but I am definitely going to try the pumpkin dressing soon.
    Thank you for a great recipe.
