Directions

Step 1

Rinse and dry romaine lettuce. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Peel and dice the cucumber, and shred or thinly slice the carrots. Add both to the salad bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper.
