Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the 0.5 cup cashews until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes, shaking often. Set aside to cool.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cup yogurt, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp honey, 2 tbsp olive oil, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until smooth and creamy.

  3. Step 3

    Place the 6 cups mixed greens in a large salad bowl. If using beetroot or red onion, thinly slice and add now.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the dressing over the greens and toss gently until every leaf is lightly coated.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle the toasted cashews over the top and serve immediately.
