04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
05 - Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
06 - Top with chopped fresh chives or dill and sliced avocado if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
