FOR THE SALAD:
- 4 lices Bacon
- ½ head of iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup diced tomato plus extra to taste
- ¼ cup crumbled feta
- 1-2 TBSP fresh minced parsley or chives to garnish optional
- sweet balsamic glaze to taste
Green Goddess Dressing:
- ¾ cup crumbled Feta cheese (approx 3 oz)

- 3 TBSP red wine vinegar

Instructions
- Chop bacon and add to a heated skillet on medium high heat. Pan fry until crisp, then remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Blot on paper towels and set aside.
- Combine dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until emulsified. To control thickness, feel free to add extra olive oil, vinegar, or water to taste, until desired thickness + flavor is reached.
- Discard wilted outer leaves of your iceberg lettuce and slice lengthwise into 4 wedges. Arrange on a plate.
- Just before serving, top with dressing, tomatoes, feta, bacon, and optional herbs to garnish. If adding balsamic, drizzle on top and serve right away. Enjoy!

Notes
- No blender or food processor? No problem! The dressing can be made by mashing the feta and avocado with a fork, mincing your green onion, parsley, and garlic, and thoroughly whisking in the remaining ingredients.
