1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt such as Fage BestSelf Plain or Siggi’s Plain Yogurt

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

8 large romaine lettuce leaves

2 1/3 cups chopped skinless rotisserie chicken breast

1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

3. Spread the avocado mixture onto each romaine lettuce leaf

4. Top with chopped chicken halved cherry tomatoes sliced green onions and crisp turkey bacon

5. Serve immediately while the lettuce is crisp and the toppings are fresh

Notes

For the avocado mixture press parchment onto its surface before refrigerating to slow browning

Keep ingredients stored separately until ready to assemble to maintain crisp texture

Pat tomatoes dry before adding them to prevent moisture from softening the lettuce

Reheat turkey bacon briefly in a skillet if made ahead to restore its crispness

Choose wide sturdy romaine leaves for the best structure and crunch
