Ingredients

For the dressing:

½ cup plain Greek yogurt (can use sour cream)
2 tablespoons milk or buttermilk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
½ teaspoon dried dill
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the salad:

8 slices bacon
1 head Romaine lettuce, washed and chopped (about 8 cups)
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 large ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
2 cups homemade croutons
¼ red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

First, make the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, lemon juice, chives, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Place the bacon strips in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat. Turn the strips as needed until they reach the desired crispness, 8 to 12 minutes. Drain well on a paper-towel-lined plate.
Place the chopped lettuce in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, avocado, croutons, and onion. Chop the cooked bacon strips and add them to the salad. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
