Notes

Nutrition: Estimates from the supplied card per 1/6 recipe, including all dressing. The base calculation uses nonfat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, reduced-fat Swiss, sugar, 600 g iceberg, 80 g sweet gherkins and 14 small olives. With avocado oil mayo labeled 100 calories and 11 g fat per tablespoon, the card estimates 500 calories, 48 g protein, 15 g carbs and 27 g fat per serving.
Make ahead: Keep the chopped salad and dressing in separate covered containers in the refrigerator; toss shortly before serving.
Dairy-free option: Use plain unsweetened dairy-free Greek-style yogurt and dairy-free Swiss-style cheese. This changes the nutrition. For gluten-free preparation, use gluten-free turkey, ham, mustard and pickles.
Fiber is estimated per one-sixth of the original salad, including its 600 g iceberg lettuce, 80 g sweet gherkins, 14 small olives and dressing.
