Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups mixed greens romaine, butter lettuce, or spring mix
  • 1 cup cucumber diced
  • 1 cup snap peas trimmed and halved
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil torn
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives chopped
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt for dressing
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Method
 

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, half of the basil, and half of the chives. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Thoroughly wash the mixed greens and pat dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
  3. Dice the cucumber, halve the snap peas, and slice the avocado. Keep the avocado slices separate until ready to serve to prevent browning.
  4. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, and snap peas. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining fresh basil and chives over the salad for extra flavor and color.
  6. Drizzle the green goddess dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Top with sliced avocado.
  7. Serve the salad immediately while the greens are crisp and fresh. Pass extra dressing on the side if desired.

Notes

Make the green goddess dressing up to 3 days ahead and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For added protein, top with grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas. To keep the salad crisp, dress it just before serving rather than in advance.
