Baked Greek Chicken on Ribbon Salad
Yogurt serves as both the marinade and the salad dressing in this yummy main course salad. Yogurt and other dairy products are one of the only marinades that truly tenderize poultry and meat, possibly because the calcium activates enzymes that break down proteins, making this chicken truly tender.

Mahi mahi is a relatively low-in-fat fish, but is still a source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

In the summer, grill the fish; mahi mahi is meaty and firm making it a good grilling fish.
