Veggie salad with Yogurt dressing

Veggie salad

This salad is a combination of greens with a “spicy dressing” of yogurt. The fun part of this salad is that you can add in almost any vegetable(even pasta) and get good flavors.Here I have made it with some humble veggies which happen to be present in my fridge any given day! As for the greens, you can use sweet greens like butter lettuce which will balance the spicy flavor of the salad.

1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of full fat yogurt /sour cream
