Ingredients
2 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup diced tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and green beans
1 cup canned pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fat-free fruit-flavored yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped nuts
2 tablespoons raisins
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before preparing the salad.
Rinse the mixed salad greens under cold water and pat dry. Arrange the greens on a large serving platter or in a salad bowl.
Chop the fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and green beans) into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drain the canned pineapple chunks thoroughly and add them to the bowl with the chopped vegetables. Gently toss to combine.
Spoon the vegetable and pineapple mixture evenly over the prepared bed of mixed greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, orange juice, and fat-free fruit-flavored yogurt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the yogurt dressing evenly over the salad greens and vegetables.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts and raisins over the top of the salad as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Comments
This is a straightforward salad that checks most boxes for a Charlotte weeknight. All ingredients—mixed greens, vegetables, canned or fresh pineapple, nuts, raisins, yogurt—are readily available at every major chain in the area, with no special trips required. The 15-minute stated time is honest; tossing greens, chopping vegetables, and whisking a yogurt-vinegar-orange juice dressing genuinely takes that long. Cost per serving runs around $2.50–$3.00, moderate and driven mainly by the nuts and fresh pineapple if you buy it that way. The real limitation is that this is a same-night eat—it wilts if left dressed overnight—and it's a side or light lunch rather than a family dinner, so it doesn't solve the weeknight main-dish problem.
