Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
While the bacon cooks, rinse and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and add it to a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
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.
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.
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.
Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon over the salad and toss gently once more.
If desired, slice the green onions thinly and sprinkle them on top for an additional burst of flavor.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, crisp textures and flavors of your BLT Salad Low Cal!
