Ingredients
- 2 Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Low-fat plain Greek yogurt

- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
Add the lemon juice to the avocado and mash until almost smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
Incorporate the Greek yogurt into the avocado mash along with the minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and chopped chives.
Season the dressing with ground black pepper and mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped red bell pepper.
