servings30
minutesIngredients
1 large head of romaine lettuce, chopped
3 stalks of celery, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
3/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
12 oz bacon, cooked and chopped (crispier is better)
1 cup plain yogurt
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 tsp honey
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Seasonings: cumin, salt, pepper, herbs
Directions
- Prep Ingredients
- Cook bacon until relatively crispy, drain, and set off to the side to cool
- Prepare the dressing by mixing yogurt with garlic, honey, lemon juice, and seasonings to taste – careful not to overdo the salt because the bacon and cheese will add some saltiness to the salad

1) chopped romaine lettuce
2) chopped celery
3) frozen peas
4) chopped green onions - Spread the dressing evenly across the top of the salad
