  • 1 5.3 oz. container Pomegranate Greek Yogurt ( (I use Chobani))
  • 3 tablespoons Asian Sweet Chili Sauce ((see notes))
  • 3 tablespoons pomegranate juice
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar ((depending on how tangy you like it))
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instruction

  • Whisk all of the salad dressing ingredients together in a medium bowl. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the salad. (Dressing can be made and refrigerated up to 5 days in advance.) Once chilled, adjust to taste, if desired, by adding honey for sweeter or vinegar for tangier.
  • Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl. If serving entire salad immediately, drizzle with desired amount of dressing and toss to coat. If there might be leftovers, dress individual servings.
