I adapted this from a salad recipe I received from the American Dairy Association. It's filling and nice for a light meal with a bowl of warm soup. I love that this salad is so flexible in allowing substitutions based on what you have on hand. Fat free and low fat dairy products have successfully been used in this. I try to avoid adding any additional salt to our meals, so you may want to sample the dressing before serving and see if you prefer to add some. Ingredients:
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped |
1/4 cup tomato, chopped |
1/4 cup onion, chopped |
1/4 cup cucumber, chopped |
1/4 cup avocado, chopped |
1 slice bacon or 1 slice veggie bacon, cooked and chopped |
1 egg, hard boiled and chopped |
2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup plain yogurt |
1 tablespoon mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped |
1 tablespoon chives, chopped |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon honey |
ground pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Top lettuce with the tomato, onion, cucumber, avocado, bacon, egg, and cheese.
2. Prepare yogurt dressing by combining all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulsing until smooth.
3. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to cover.
