Instructions

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, thoroughly stir together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and red wine vinegar until smooth. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Assemble the Salad: In a large serving bowl, gently mix the hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, sliced avocado, crumbled blue cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes. Take care not to mash the ingredients to keep the salad chunky and visually appealing.
Add the Dressing: Gradually fold the prepared mayonnaise dressing into the salad mixture, adding just enough until the ingredients are lightly coated. Reserve any extra dressing for serving, if desired.
Season and Garnish: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed. Garnish the salad with freshly chopped chives and extra toppings such as more eggs, bacon, blue cheese, and tomatoes for an attractive finish.

Notes

For best results, use eggs that are fully cooled and peeled carefully, to prevent crumbling.
The salad can be made ahead; store the dressing and salad ingredients separately, combining just before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.
Feel free to add greens like romaine or spinach to turn this salad into a heartier meal.
