A little sweet, a little savory and a little zest without too much dressing to overwhelm the taste
Ingredients
  • ½ heaping cup plain or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon + ½ teaspoon lemon juice, divided
  • 1 small ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Assorted lettuce leaves
  • 2 oranges, peeled and divided into sections
  • 1 small grapefruit, peeled and divided into sections
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
Instructions
  1. Place the yogurt, ½ teaspoon of lemon juice and banana in a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  2. When ready to serve, peel, pit and cut the avocado. Sprinkle with the remaining lemon juice. Place the lettuce on chilled salad plates and arrange the orange and grapefruit sections on top.
