Ingredients
Scale
For the dressing:
- 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 clove garlic
- About 1/2 cup fresh herbs ~ I used basil, thyme, a bit of tarragon, rosemary, and cilantro
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup lowfat or nonfat plain yogurt
For each salad:
- Mixed greens
- 1 chicken breast or 4 – 5 chicken nuggets
- 1 slice bacon, fried crisp & crumbled
- Sweet cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- Sliced sweet onion (I used Vidalia)
- 1/4 of an avocado, cut into small chunks
Instructions
- Cook the chicken or heat it up. (I buy frozen natural breaded chicken tenders and cook them in my toaster oven.)
- Put all the dressing ingredients EXCEPT the yogurt in a handi chopper or food processor and blend until all the herbs are finely chopped and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the dressing into a bowl and stir in the yogurt till well mixed. Add more buttermilk or some milk to smooth if you want a thinner dressing.
- For each salad: Make a bed of greens on your salad plate or bowl. Arrange the chicken, bacon, tomatoes, onion, and avocado around on the greens. Drizzle with dressing and enjoy!
