Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 large avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Chop the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add salad ingredients: Add cooked and crumbled bacon, chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and blue cheese crumbles if using, to the bowl with the eggs.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and combined.
- Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine everything evenly without mashing the avocado or eggs.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with finely chopped fresh chives if desired. Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for enhanced flavor before serving.
Notes
- Hard-boil eggs by placing them in boiling water for about 9-12 minutes, then cooling in ice water before peeling.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to suit your desired creaminess and fat content.
- Omitting blue cheese makes this salad milder but still flavorful.
- Chilling the salad slightly allows the flavors to meld, but it can be enjoyed right away for a fresher taste.
- Ensure bacon is cooked crisp for the best texture contrast.
- For a dairy-free version, omit blue cheese and use mayonnaise without dairy.
