Layered Overnight Green Salad (healthier)

I have been wanting to make this for a while for my family. My Mom used to make this and I always got excited when you did. The great thing is you can make it ahead so you don't have to be making it at the last minute. It makes it very nice. I made it healthier. Not adding the mayo to it either and added honey mustard dressing at the end. It was a nice twist. Great for holiday gatherings.
