Chopped Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing

I literally can't get over how delicious this salad and salad dressing are. Greek yogurt can actually take on any flavor and the outcome is always so tasty. This dressing mimics a creamy, fatty type dressing but with less than half the calories!

A great tool that always comes in handy when making dressings and other things in small quantities is a mini food processor. There is no need to use a huge one that is a hassle to clean. Bed, Bath, and Beyond has some great options and remember you can use expired coupons there! This recipe makes one large, delicious salad packed with protein and healthy fats that is perfect for lunch or dinner.
