Ingredients

  1. 8 slices bacon
  2. 1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 6 wedges
  3. Chunky Feta Cream Sauce, recipe follows
  4. 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  5. Pickled Red Onions, recipe follows
  6. Coarsely ground black pepper
  7. 2 ounces feta, crumbled
  8. 1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
  9. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  10. 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  11. Coarsely ground black pepper
  12. 1 cup warm water
  13. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  14. 4 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  15. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  16. 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  17. Tabasco sauce

Instructions

  1. Add the bacon to a large saute pan, turn the heat to medium and cook, flipping after 5 minutes, until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. When cool enough to handle, chop into small pieces.
  2. Arrange the lettuce wedges on a platter. Top with the Chunky Feta Cream Sauce, bacon, tomatoes and Pickled Red Onions. Season with coarsely ground black pepper.
  3. In a high-speed blender, combine the feta, yogurt, olive oil, paprika and a few turns of pepper and blend until very smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use (this can be made a day or two in advance).
  4. Whisk together the water, vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the onion, cover and let sit at room temperature for an hour or in the refrigerator overnight. Add tabasco sauce to taste.
