Technique:
Chop and mix the salad items: tomato, peeled cucumber, and romaine.
Prepare and mix the dressing items together: approximately 2/3 cup of yogurt, 1/2 of a finely diced cucumber, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, a dash of dill weed, 2 cloves of minced garlic, a tablespoon of EVOO, and a sprinkle of salt. This is served on the side of the salad.
Add extra things such as feta and olives, and if you like vary the extra ingredients.
Notes:
Fage USA Greek yogurt is made without rBGH or added gelatins, and one cup provides 23 g protein and live active cultures. φάγε (pronounced fa-yeh, and means "eat!")
To make a complete vegetarian protein protein, this salad combines dairy, grains, and legumes with vegetables.
I use fresh garlic, chop off both ends, slice the clove down the center to remove the stem core, the outer peel, and then mince.
This is a low-to-moderate glycemic index salad, varying on how much, and what kind of bread or grain is eaten.
