Ingredients

2 heads Romaine lettuce hearts
0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove Minced garlic
0.25 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
1 cup Whole wheat croutons

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

Step 2

Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it into a large salad bowl.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the chopped lettuce and toss gently to coat all the leaves evenly.

Step 5

Add the whole wheat croutons to the salad just before serving to maintain their crunch.

Step 6

Optionally, sprinkle a bit more Parmesan cheese on top for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a healthy side to your main course.
