This super salad, packed with protein and loads of creaminess, makes for a quick and healthy midday meal. The Greek-yogurt-for-mayo swap is one of my favorites, and it works perfectly in this recipe.

In addition to the protein bump, you’ll also score a bit of tangy flavor. And there are so many fun ways to enjoy it. You can go classic and spread it on whole-grain bread for a scrumptious sammie. Or try something new, like serving it with crackers or crudité on the side, or adding a big scoop to a green salad. Is it lunchtime yet?
