A fresh, high-protein lunch bowl combining crisp mixed greens and hearty farmer's salad, dressed with a tangy skyr and herb cream cheese dressing.
Are you looking for a quick, healthy lunch that doesn't require turning on the stove? This Creamy Skyr & Farmer's Salad Bowl is the ultimate solution for a crisp, refreshing, and satisfying midday meal. When you combine fresh leafy greens with the hearty texture of deli-style salads, you get a beautiful balance of flavors and crunch. The real star of this Creamy Skyr & Farmer's Salad Bowl, however, is the homemade high-protein dressing. By blending thick, nutritious skyr with savory herbed cream cheese, you create a rich and creamy topping that transforms ordinary vegetables into a crave-worthy dish. A splash of milk helps thin the dressing to the perfect drizzling consistency, while the addition of briny olives and tangy chopped pickles provides an irresistible zesty bite. Not only does this recipe save you time on busy afternoons, but it also helps you utilize those highly perishable items in your fridge before they go bad. Mixed salads and deli salads have a short shelf life, so assembling them into a vibrant Creamy Skyr & Farmer's Salad Bowl ensures nothing goes to waste. Whether you are making a quick lunch for work or simply enjoying a quiet meal at home, this bowl offers an energizing, low-calorie option loaded with fiber and protein. Feel free to adjust the dressing to your liking by adding extra black pepper or even a dash of chili spread if you prefer a subtle kick of heat!
Ingredients
- 100 g Mixed Salad (about 4 cups loosely packed)
- 150 g Farmer's Salad (about 3/4 cup)
- 60 g Skyr (1/4 cup)
- 30 g Cream Cheese With Herbs (about 2 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 30 g Olives (about 10 olives)
- 40 g Pickles (about 1/4 cup chopped)
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, whisk together the skyr, cream cheese with herbs, and milk until smooth to create the dressing. If the dressing is too thick, add another tiny splash of milk until it reaches a drizzling consistency.
- 2Chop the pickles into bite-sized pieces and slice the olives in half.
- 3Arrange the mixed salad at the bottom of a large serving bowl.
- 4Top the bed of greens with the farmer's salad, chopped pickles, and sliced olives.
- 5Drizzle the creamy skyr dressing generously over the top of the bowl and toss well just before eating.
Chef's Tips
- •For an extra kick, try swirling a tiny amount of your chili spread into the dressing before tossing the salad.
- •Use up your mixed greens quickly, as they are highly perishable. If your greens are starting to wilt slightly, soaking them in ice water for 5 minutes can help revive their crunch.
