Perfect the Dressing: Mix Greek yogurt and mayo for a creamy but light dressing. Taste and tweak the seasoning once it’s mixed.
Give It Time: Let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes to bring out the flavors.
Stay Bright: Lemon zest and juice make the salad fresh and zesty, don’t skip this step!
