This is a great, fresh tasting salad that you will love. The dressing is what makes it. You can try this dressing with just about any green salad ingredient and you won't be disappointed. And your heart and waistline will appreciate the lowfat yogurt base. Here's a creamy dressing that you don't have to feel guilty about!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
