Summer Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

I crave salads. Call me weird.

Mixed greens with peppery arugula, grape tomatoes, and cucumbers topped with the Green Goddess Dressing. The dressing is mayonnaise based but lightened up by using a little and mixing it with plain fat free yogurt and the flavor comes from green onions, tarragon, parsley, garlic, and white wine vinegar.

This California classic is delicious and refreshing. I could happily eat this salad every day while on the Flat Belly Diet.
