Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cool, chop into bite-sized pieces.
While the bacon cooks, prepare the vegetables. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these to the bowl along with the croutons.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the chopped bacon to the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss everything gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your California BLT Salad!
