Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
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.
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.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the lettuce and other ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped turkey bacon and the whole grain croutons over the salad.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the full crunch and freshness of the salad.
