Ingredients

• 6 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 4 slices Turkey bacon
• 1 medium-sized Avocado
• 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp (about 4-5 minutes). Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

While the bacon cooks, rinse and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and add it to a large salad bowl.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.

Step 4

Slice the avocado and carefully scoop the slices out of the peel. Add them to the salad bowl or dice for smaller chunks if preferred.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad, starting with about half, and toss gently to combine. Add more dressing as needed to coat the ingredients lightly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon over the salad and toss gently once more.

Step 8

If desired, slice the green onions thinly and sprinkle them on top for an additional burst of flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp textures and flavors of your BLT Salad Low Cal!
