Why We Love This Recipe:

1. Protein:

Using nonfat Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise or sour cream adds protein to keep you full longer, supports muscle repair, and balances blood sugar.

2. Low in Saturated Fat:

Greek yogurt is also low in saturated fat, and using olive oil provides heart-healthy fats.

3. Antioxidants:

The fresh herbs like parsley, basil, and chives provide vitamin C and polyphenols for immune and skin support. They are also natural anti-inflammatory compounds.
