Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 large Carrot
- 5 Radishes
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 5 Fresh basil leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it thinly and add to the salad.
Remove seeds from the red bell pepper, slice it into thin strips, and add to the bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot, and thinly slice the radishes. Add both to the salad.
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the salad.
For the dressing, combine low-fat Greek yogurt, avocado, lemon juice, parsley, basil leaves, and garlic in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper. Add olive oil and water to adjust the consistency, blending again until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the dressing is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Pour the creamy green goddess dressing over the salad and toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing low-fat crisp garden salad.
