1 cup of Greek yogurt

1 avocado cut into chunks

1/8 cup of fresh cilantro

1/8 cup of fresh Italian parsley

1/8 cup of extra virgin olive oil

1/8 cup of filtered water

1/2 teaspoon of pepper

Instructions

Carefully roast (washed and dried) peppers over an open flame of a gas stove with tongs until black on all sides. It should take about 7-10 minutes, turning every few minutes.

Place peppers in a ziplock bag and seal. Set aside.

While peppers are cooling off, in a blender or large cup fit for hand blender (my favourite!), add yogurt, avocado, cilantro parsley, extra virgin olive oil, water, lime juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

With rubber gloves or a paper towel, rub off blackened skin from peppers, chop, and add to blender.

Blend until creamy and smooth.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Layer salad ingredients: field greens, quinoa, strawberries, feta, and pecans. Drizzle with dressing. ENJOY!
