Ingredients

Scale

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp. Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Salad

  • 8 hard-boiled eggs, cut into 8 pieces, plus more for garnish
  • 8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled, plus more for garnish
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tbsp. thinly sliced chives

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and red wine vinegar (or fresh lemon juice). Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  2. Combine the salad ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the hard-boiled eggs, crispy crumbled bacon, sliced avocado, crumbled blue cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  3. Dress the salad: Fold in about half of the prepared dressing into the salad mixture until the ingredients are lightly coated. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Garnish and serve: Top the salad with thinly sliced chives, additional bacon, eggs, blue cheese, and tomatoes for extra layers of flavor and texture. Drizzle with remaining dressing or serve it on the side for guests to add as desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked bacon for best flavor and texture.
  • Hard-boil the eggs in advance to save time.
  • To make it lower fat, reduce the amount of mayonnaise or substitute with extra Greek yogurt.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best taste.
  • This salad works well as a main dish or a hearty side.
