Health benefits of Summery Cobb Salad with Buttermilk Dressing

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

1/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. Greek yogurt
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 c. low-fat buttermilk

kosher salt
Black pepper
4 slices bacon
2 hearts Romaine, halved, cored, and chopped (about 8 cups)
1 avocado diced (1 cup)
1/2 pt. Grape Tomatoes, halved lengthwise

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon, and garlic. Slowly pour in buttermilk, whisking constantly. Whisk in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Place in fridge until ready to use.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate until cool, then crumble.
