Ingredients
Scale
For the Dressing
- 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsp. Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
- Kosher salt, to taste

For the Salad
- 8 hard-boiled eggs, cut into eight pieces, plus more for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, thoroughly stir together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and red wine vinegar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste preference.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large serving bowl, gently combine the hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, sliced avocado, crumbled blue cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes. Take care to mix gently to keep the salad chunky and visually appealing without mashing the ingredients.
