4. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) until smooth and creamy.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all the vegetables are well-coated with the yogurt dressing.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice based on your preference.
7. Refrigerate the salad for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
