We set out to replicate what is arguably one of the most-loved restaurant salad in the United States. With its tart-creamy dressing, crunchy lettuce, and bold additions of pepperoncini peppers, red onion, and black olives, there’s a lot to love. It’s all here in this version, made with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
