This super easy salad was absolutely delicious, full of fresh veggies, and only took 15 minutes to make! I didn't use all the ingredients, but it still was full of crunch and was very tangy. The recipe serves 4, with each serving being 82 calories. Really, does it get any better than that?
- 2 3/4 oz or 75 g cucumber, cut into sticks
- 6 scallions (green onion) cut into long pieces or chopped coarsely
- 2 tomatoes, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
- 2 celery stalks, cut into strips
- 4 radishes, quartered
- 2 3/4 oz or 75 g corn salad (I substituted in a few handfuls of cooked frozen corn and a bunch of baby spinach instead of the suggested arugula)
- 1 tbsp chopped mint, as garnish
Dressing
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (or juice of 1 lemon)
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2/3 cup of plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Tip: don't drizzle the dressing onto the salad until serving time as it will turn soggy otherwise.
