Ingredients

• 1 Iceberg lettuce head
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 4 Radishes, thinly sliced
• 1 Avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
• 0.25 cup Crumbled feta cheese, reduced-fat
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt, non-fat
• 0.5 Lemon, juiced
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Remove any wilted outer leaves from the iceberg lettuce. Cut the head into four equal wedges by first halving it and then cutting each half in half again. Rinse the wedges under cold water to remove any dirt and set them aside to drain, cut side down, on a towel.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 3

On four separate plates, place each wedge of lettuce cut side up.

Step 4

Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes, sliced radishes, diced avocado, and red onion over each lettuce wedge.

Step 5

Drizzle the prepared yogurt dressing over the top of each salad wedge. For a thicker dressing, use a spoon to layer it generously.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped chives over the top for added flavor and garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and freshness of the ingredients. Enjoy your heart-healthy classic wedge salad!
