- 0.5 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the kale and romaine lettuce. Remove the kale leaves from the stems and tear them into bite-sized pieces. Chop the romaine lettuce. Combine both in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic clove, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 3
Pour the prepared dressing over the kale and romaine in the salad bowl. Massage the dressing into the kale for about 1-2 minutes to make it more tender.

Add the whole-grain croutons and cherry tomatoes (if using) to the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Step 5
Serve immediately as a fresh, nutrient-packed dish. Optionally garnish with extra grated Parmesan or a sprinkle of black pepper for added flavor.
