Salad

16 oz mixed greens
8 oz coleslaw mix
4 oz cherry or grape tomatoes quartered
¼ cup red onion diced
2 avocados cut in half and thinly sliced
2 radishes thinly sliced
1 English cucumber diced
1 stalk celery leaves removed, thinly sliced

Dressing

½ cup mayonnaise or sour cream
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoon garlic paste
2 green onions
2 tablespoon fresh dill
2 tablespoon fresh chives
¼ cup fresh parsley leaves loosely packed
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup spinach
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon lemon juice (1 lemon)

Instructions

Make dressing. In a food processor, add mayo, yogurt, garlic, green onions, dill, chives, and parsley. Blend until smooth.
Next, add in honey, dijon mustard, spinach, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Blend again until smooth, scraping down the sides if needed.
Then with the lid on, using the opening in the top, blend dressing while slowly pouring in olive oil. Blend until smooth.
Use a funnel to pour dressing into a jar. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Prepare salad. Wash, chop, and prep salad ingredients.
Once prepped add all salad ingredients, except sliced avocado, to a large bowl and toss.
Add dressing. Right before serving add dressing and toss to combine. Serve with sliced avocado over each serving.

Notes

For thinner dressing add a few tablespoons of water if desired.

Feel free to adjust any of the dressing ingredient quantities to taste including salt and pepper.
