Nutrition Facts:  102 calories / 9.5g carbs / 5.5g protein / 5g fat 

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup (20g) fresh tender herbs (such as dill, basil, parsley, cilantro, chives)
  • 1 cup (255g) plain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 head (500g) romaine lettuce (end removed and chopped widthwise)
  • 1 fennel bulb (100g) (core removed and thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium (160g) green apple (core removed and thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 avocado (68g) (sliced without skin or seed)
  • 1/4 cup (31g) pistachios (shelled and chopped)

Instructions:

  1. Add lemon zest and juice, yogurt, herbs, garlic and salt to a food processor or blender and run until smooth and well combined. Thin with water until pourable. 
  2. Add lettuce, fennel and apples to a large bowl. Add dressing and gently toss until everything is well coated. Transfer to a serving bowl and arrange avocado slices on top. Finish with the pistachios. Serve immediately. 
  3. Add lettuce, fennel and apples to a large bowl and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and arrange avocado slices on top. Finish with the pistachios. Drizzle with dressing, as desired. Serve immediately. 

Notes:

  1. Alternatively, you can keep the dressing separate and each person can add as much as they like.
  2. Use only one or two varieties of fresh herbs or multiple for a more complex flavor. 
  3. Don’t have whole milk Greek yogurt in the fridge? This recipe can easily substitute nonfat or low-fat Greek yogurt (macros will vary).
