Hey Food Finders!

What is it about creamy salad dressing that is SO good!? I just love a good ranch or blue cheese dressing, but I rarely have it because it is laden with high calorie, high fat ingredients. Ok, that totally defeats the purpose of the healthy choice of a salad. A salad ceases to be healthy when you add a delicious creamy dressing and cheese to it right?  Usually yes, but it doesn’t have to! Not if you make it the way that I did in this recipe.

I took the fresh Spring produce of sugar snap peas, radishes, carrots, and red onion and mixed them with a homemade creamy herb dressing made from lower fat, lower calorie, heart-healthy ingredients. Adding a sprinkle of goat cheese on top (or feta works too if you prefer) for even more creaminess and flavor will totally satisfy your dressing desires.  You will be walking right past that full fat dressing and not miss it at all, nor will your guests if you serve this salad as a side dish at a brunch or picnic.

Ingredients:

12. oz sugar snap peas,  trimmed

1 cup radishes, thinly  sliced

1 cup carrots, shredded

1/2  small red onion, thinly sliced

1 tbsp. unsweetened almond milk

2 tbsp. light mayo

2 tbsp. nonfat, plain Greek yogurt

2 tbsp. non-fat sour cream

4 tbsp. goat cheese, crumbled

1 tbsp. fresh tarragon, chopped

Spices to taste: garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper
