Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Greens
Wash and dry your lettuce, cabbage, and herbs thoroughly using a salad spinner or paper towels. Chop them finely and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Chop the Veggies
Dice cucumbers, scallions, radishes, and avocado if using. Try to keep all veggies in small, bite-sized pieces for consistent texture.
Step 3: Blend the Dressing
In a blender or food processor, combine all the dressing ingredients: Greek yogurt, mayo, fresh herbs, garlic, lemon juice, anchovies (optional), salt, pepper, olive oil, and vinegar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Combine & Toss
Pour the dressing over your prepared greens and veggies. Toss well to ensure every bite is coated with that rich, herby flavor.
Step 5: Serve Fresh
Transfer to a serving bowl, top with diced avocado (if using), and enjoy immediately. You can also chill it in the fridge for 15–30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
