🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups crisp romaine lettuce, chopped
✓ 1 large cucumber (English preferred), diced
✓ 2 large ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
✓ 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
✓ 1 red bell pepper, diced
✓ 120g reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
✓ 3 tbsp pitted Kalamata olives, halved
✓ 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
✓ 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
✓ 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
✓ 1 tsp dried oregano
✓ 1 clove garlic, minced
✓ Sea salt and black pepper to taste
✓ 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
✓ 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Base: Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce to remove excess moisture. Chop into bite-sized pieces and divide between two large bowls or plates.

2. Cut the Vegetables: Dice the cucumber and red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Cut tomatoes into wedges. Slice the red onion paper-thin using a mandoline or sharp knife for sweeter flavor.

3. Arrange the Salad: Layer cucumber, tomato wedges, red pepper, and onion over the lettuce in each bowl. This creates visual appeal and makes eating enjoyable.

4. Make the Fat-Switch Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, and Dijon mustard until smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Add Cheese and Olives: Crumble 60g reduced-fat feta over each salad. Distribute 1.5 tbsp halved Kalamata olives and cherry tomato halves evenly across both bowls.

6. Dress and Serve: Drizzle 3-4 tbsp of Fat-Switch dressing over each salad. Toss gently with two forks to distribute dressing and combine all ingredients. Serve immediately for optimal crispness.
