Notes

To make a spicy variation of the dressing, add in 1 or 2 diced Jalapeños or Serrano Peppers. 
If you do not wish to use Greek Yogurt you can use Sour Cream or Mayonnaise. The dressing can also be made using Cashew Yogurt or any other dairy alternative yogurt, mayo, or sour cream. 
You can top the salad with pistachios, walnuts, or almonds for an added crunch. Or top with nutritional yeast for a little flavor boost! 
To make the salad into a meal, top with grilled chicken breast, seared steak, grilled salmon, or tofu!
