Ingredients
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Whole grain croutons
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cooking the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Step 4
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop the flesh out with a spoon, and dice it into small cubes. Add the avocado to the salad bowl.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the lettuce and other ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped turkey bacon and the whole grain croutons over the salad.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately to enjoy the full crunch and freshness of the salad.
