Wash and dry the butter lettuce and baby spinach. Tear the butter lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place both the lettuce and spinach in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the large avocado. Add these to the salad bowl.
Chop the green onions, and add them to the salad bowl.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, fresh basil leaves, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic clove.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with ground black pepper to taste, and blend again briefly to mix in the pepper.
Add the dressing to the salad right before serving. Toss gently to coat the salad ingredients evenly with the dressing.
Serve immediately for a fresh and vibrant low sodium meal.
