Ingredients
- 1 large Iceberg lettuce head
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 4 strips Turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.25 cup Blue cheese crumbles
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the turkey bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 10 minutes or until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the oven, let them cool, and then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
While the bacon is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, low-fat buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 3
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the iceberg lettuce head. Cut the head into quarters, ensuring each wedge remains intact for presentation. Rinse under cold water and gently pat dry with paper towels.
Step 4
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.
Step 5
On each plate, place one wedge of lettuce. Drizzle a generous amount of the low-fat dressing over the top, making sure it drips down the sides.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes and red onion over each wedge.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped turkey bacon and blue cheese crumbles on top.
Step 8
Finish by garnishing with fresh chives for added color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light side dish.
