Ingredients
Scale
Egg Salad
- 6 large eggs (hard-boiled and chopped)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 avocado (diced)
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Dressing
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Optional

Instructions
- Prepare the Egg and Bacon Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, crumbled blue cheese, and sliced green onions. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the egg mixture and gently toss using a spatula or large spoon, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated without mashing the avocado too much.

Notes
- Substitute blue cheese with feta or shredded cheddar for a milder flavor.
- This salad is best enjoyed the day it’s made but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a lighter option, reduce mayonnaise and increase Greek yogurt.
- Add more veggies like diced cucumbers or bell peppers for added crunch.
