Main ingredients

  • G،s. Use red, green, or mix them.
  • Toasted pecans. For a nice flavor boost and crunch.
  • Cream cheese. At room temperature.
  • Greek yogurt. W،le milk or non-،. Unflavored.
  • Sugar. I used much less than other recipes call for, yet, the cream is sweet enough.
  • Vanilla extract.

How to make G، Salad

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese (softened), yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Tips for the best G، Salad

  • Don’t use cold cream cheese. If you use the cold cream cheese before it has sufficiently softened, then the dressing will be lumpy and unappealing.
  • Toast the pecans. This step will add so much flavor. Toasting the pecans gives them the extra nutty flavor and crun،ess that this salad needs.
  • Use w،le-، yogurt. This recipe is best with w،le-، yogurt because it brings great creaminess and richness to this salad. Non، works, too, but it’s just not as creamy as the w،le-، version.
  • Top with a crushed candy bar. In the Midwest, a popular topper for G، Salad is crushed Heath or Snickers bars. Go ahead and give it a try!

Variations to this Recipe

  • Add other fruits. Try this recipe with pears, strawberries, or apples for additional sweetness and some crispness.
  • Subs،ute other nuts. You can make this G، Salad with walnuts, almonds, or cashews in place of the pecans.
  • Add cinnamon. This warm ،e complements the vanilla and creamy, sweetness of this salad perfectly.
  • Use ،ney or maple syrup. Sweeten this salad with ،ney in place of the sugar if you are trying to avoid refined sugars. Or use maple syrup.

How to Store

Store any leftovers of this G، Salad in an airtight container or in a dish covered with plastic wrap for up to 4 days. The pecans lose their crunch over time, but the salad will remain delicious.

What to Serve this with

  • Chicken. Serve this with Chicken Stew, Roasted Pepper Stuffed Chicken Breast, Chicken Gyros, or Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast.
  • C،erole. Enjoy this G، Salad with some Twice Baked Potato C،erole, Chicken Rice C،erole, or Mashed Potato C،erole.
  • Soup. Pair this salad with a bowl of Hearty Mushroom Soup, Quick Orzo Soup, Chickpea Noodle Soup, or Turkey Cabbage Soup.
  • Salad. Serve it alongside another salad, like this Leftover Turkey Salad, Mediterranean Quinoa Salad, Wedge Salad, or Jennifer Aniston Salad.
