Ingredients

  • 3 slices bacon 1 cup low-fat buttermilk 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (2 ounces) Coarse salt 2 heads Boston lettuce (1 pound total), torn into bite-size pieces 6 ounces deli turkey, cut into bite-size pieces 4 plum tomatoes, halved, seeded, and diced 4 large hard-cooked egg whites, chopped 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced

Directions

In a medium skillet, cook bacon over medium, turning occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, and drain. Break into bite-size pieces.

In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, and vinegar. Gently fold in blue cheese; season with salt, and set dressing aside.

Place lettuce in a large bowl; arrange bacon, turkey, tomatoes, egg whites, and avocado on top. Serve salad with dressing alongside.
