Add bacon and cook until crisp, stirring frequently, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Allow to cool.

Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar and pickles in a bowl and stir to incorporate.
Season with salt, to taste.
Toss the lettuce, tomato, onion, and cucumber in a large salad bowl with the dressing.
