Instructions

  • To make the dressing, add the cilantro, Greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice, salt and cumin in the bowl of a food processor. While the food processor is running, slowly pour in the olive oil and allow it to emulsify the sauce, scraping down the sides of the food processor as necessary.
  • Divide the salad ingredients into four bowls and drizzle the dressing on top.

Notes

Make Ahead: You can make the dressing up to 14 days in advance and you can prepare most of the salad up to 1 day in advance.
