How to Make Mixed Baby Greens With Creamy Dressing

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry 5 oz of mixed baby greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, romaine).
  2. Place the dried greens in a large salad bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  3. While the greens chill, prepare the dressing: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon honey, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons sour cream (optional).
  6. Cover and shake well to combine.
  7. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve. This can also be prepared ahead of time, up to 2 days in advance.
  8. Just before serving, drizzle the desired amount of dressing over the chilled mixed greens.
  9. Gently toss the greens and dressing together until evenly coated.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
