Jen Squires on 2021-05-13 (3 stars): I just couldn’t get this recipe to work for me. I used 5% fage. It just didn’t have any pizzazz. I think red onions could help immensely, or possibly tahini. I did at the last minute make some bacon and even that didn’t really help. I tried a little olive oil, crushed peppers, and a spoonful with both balsamic, and red wine vinegar. Truly I tried, just not for me. But I will try another recipe and see if I don’t have more success.
Warmly
Katy on 2021-05-16 (5 stars): I thought this was excellent! Flavor is great! Easy to make as well.
Katie on 2021-05-26 (5 stars): This salad was great! I did add a teeny touch of honey to the dressing because my husband can sniff out greek yogurt from a mile away, but I love that this is such a bright and fresh alternative to the super sweet mayo-laden versions that the rest of the Midwest seems to love. Thanks for sharing!
Tessa on 2021-08-10 (5 stars): Loved this! I followed some of the tips mentioned and prepped the veggies and dressing ahead of time and only had to combine them day of. So easy and delicious!
Brenna on 2023-06-11 (2 stars): This had no flavor. I added a heap of trader joes Dill pickle seasoning.
Stephanie R. Moore on 2024-01-04 (5 stars): I made this salad it was delish. I roasted my broccoli and chickpeas and I bought the wrong yogurt but it was still good. Going to make it again!!
