Hello to yummy and healthy salad. Not all salad need to be boring and not tasteful. Just because we want to stay healthy, doesn’t mean that we should eat greens that not taste good. This is so delicious and flavorful salad with light yogurt dressing. When I go out I always try to order salad . Not all time they are super tasty, and I understand why people stay away from salads. But I promise you that you will love that one. For this recipe I use only few ingredients, but you can add corn and peanuts if you like. They go very well with this recipe. And just because I like it i also add some of the Everything Bagel Seasoning, don’t judge I love bagels.
After trying this recipe boring salad should never be on your list. And with my creamy healthy yogurt dressing recipe I guarantee you that you will never go back to heavy mayo dressings. I know that you probably hear that they are not tasty and bland, so not true. Try it and you will see for yourself. I also love to add into the dressing a little bit of tahini ,
you can find this recipe in my other post.
I love to use larger shrimp or prawns, they don’t get dry when you grill them. For the healthy yougurt dressing I like to use Bulgarian yougurt-the real thing, not a creamy version, just real yougurt. If you cant find it in the stores I like to use Abali- this is a nice substitute to the Bulgarian Yogurt. It contains all bacteria that you need and is really tasty, with a little sourness on the end.
