"When I bring this super salad to church dinners, there is usually nothing to take home," relates Lynn Cole of Sagle, Idaho. "Add 2 or 3 cups leftover turkey or chicken to create a filling main-dish salad," she suggests. "The dressing is so good that we use it on potato salads and even lettuce salads!"

  • 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • DRESSING:
  • 3/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
