Dressing: In bowl, whisk together basil, yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside.

In skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 7 minutes; drain on paper towels. Meanwhile, cut baguette diagonally into 12 slices. Broil on rimmed baking sheet, turning once, until golden, about 1 minute. Rub both sides of bread with cut sides of garlic. Arrange in serving basket.

Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick wedges. Peel, pit and cut avocado into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes.

In large bowl, toss together lettuce, onion and half of the dressing; arrange on 4 large plates. Top with tomato wedges and avocado; spoon remaining dressing over salad. Sprinkle with bacon. Serve with garlic toasts.
