Ingredients
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 large cucumber, diced
1 avocado, diced
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 small garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the romaine lettuce well, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
2. Dice the cucumber, avocado, and slice the green onions. Chop the chives and parsley.
3. Add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, chives, parsley, salt, and black pepper to a blender or small food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Place the chopped romaine, cucumber, green onions, and avocado in a large mixing bowl.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
6. Serve immediately, or chill for 10 to 15 minutes before serving for a slightly colder, more settled flavor.
Notes
Dry the lettuce thoroughly so the dressing stays thick and creamy.
Add the avocado last and toss gently to keep it from turning mushy.
For the best texture, serve the salad the same day it is made.
