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 each, 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
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, thoroughly stir together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and red wine vinegar (or fresh lemon juice). Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, creating a creamy, tangy dressing.
- Combine the main ingredients: In a large bowl, gently fold together the cut hard-boiled eggs, crumbled cooked bacon, sliced avocado, crumbled blue cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes, taking care not to break up the eggs too much.
- Add dressing: Incorporate about half of the prepared dressing into the salad mixture, folding gently until everything is lightly coated. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish and serve: Arrange the salad topped with thinly sliced chives, and scatter more bacon, egg pieces, blue cheese, and tomatoes over the top for garnish. Drizzle with the remaining dressing or serve it on the side for added flavor.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked and crispy bacon for the best texture contrast.
- Hard-boil eggs properly to ensure firm whites and creamy yolks.
- For a lighter dressing, adjust the ratio of Greek yogurt to mayonnaise.
- Substitute blue cheese with feta if preferred for a milder flavor.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on preference.
