Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp honey until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Step 2

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the 0.5 cup mixed nuts until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, combine the 6 cups mixed salad greens, 0.5 cup parsley, and 0.25 cup dill. Toss gently to mix.

  4. Step 4

    Add the toasted nuts to the salad and toss again.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated. Serve immediately.

    Optional: add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of Dijon mustard to the dressing for extra flavor.
