Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cut the iceberg lettuce into 2.5 cm-thick slices as shown in the picture. Place them in the freezer for half an hour to make them cold and crisp. Then transfer them to a paper towel.
Make the cheese dressing in a separate bowl: mix the grated cheese, unsweetened plain yogurt, pepper, oil, and vinegar.
Cut the bacon into strips and cook in a dry skillet until crisp. Arrange the lettuce slices on a plate and spoon the dressing over the center of each slice. Top with chopped tomatoes, crisp bacon, and crushed garlic. Drizzle with more dressing and add salt to taste.

Tip: Do not leave the iceberg lettuce in the freezer for longer than half an hour, as frozen leaves will wilt once thawed. Drain the cooked bacon on a paper towel so the dressing does not become greasy.
