Whisk together 8 ounces of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt, the juice of half a lemon, 2 teaspoons of agave nectar, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and two tablespoons of water. Toss with your favorite greens.

Allow to cool and pour over the salad of freshly sliced ripe tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, shredded basil, extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper. |
