List of Ingredients




5 cups torn mixed salad greens
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2 oz.)
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pitted kalamata olives
• 1 medium cucumber, halved, seeded, and sliced 1/4 inch thick (1-3/4 cups)
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
• 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
• 1 tsp. finely shredded orange peel
• 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 medium orange, peeled and sliced

Recipe



1. Place salad greens in a 2-1/2- to 3-quart clear straight-sided bowl or souffle dish. Peel carrot. Using vegetable peeler, carefully cut carrots into long, paper-thin ribbons. Set aside. Layer atop salad greens in the following order: mushrooms, 1/4 cup of the cheese, olives, cucumbers, carrot ribbons, and green onions.
2. For dressing, in small bowl combine the mayonnaise or salad dressing, yogurt, orange peel, crushed red pepper, and ground black pepper. Spread dressing over top of salad, sealing to edge of bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Cover salad tightly with plastic wrap. Chill for 2 to 24 hours.
3. Garnish with orange slices, walnuts, and orange peel strips. Just before serving toss to coat vegetables. Makes 6 to 8 side-dish servings.
Make Ahead: Assemble this salad up to 24 hours before serving. Garnish and toss just before serving.
