150 g Greek yogurt
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
2 lemons
1 small red onion
1 large iceberg lettuce
100 g bacon, chopped
1 handful of dill, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1
Chop the dill and set aside.
2
Place the lettuce wedges on a large serving plate.

In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and crumbled feta cheese. Mash with a fork to combine well. Season with salt, pepper, and the zest and juice of 1 lemon to create a tangy feta dressing.

Thinly slice the red onion and toss with a pinch of salt and the juice of the remaining lemon. Let it sit for 10 minutes to quick pickle.
