A simple salad with a simple yet delicious dressing. This dish can be prepared in minutes and the dressing is insanely easy and to die for. There is no one way to make this salad and the variations are countless. For the dressing, I have used a ratio of 1:1 of yogurt to mayonnaise but this ratio can be varied according to taste. The amount of garlic used in this recipe can also be changed according to preference or omitted if required. Just use fresh greens and play with the combination of vegetables to create a healthy meal.
