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 texture, ensure eggs and avocado are fresh.
Use crispy bacon for an ideal contrast in texture.
Can be prepared a few hours in advance and chilled for flavors to meld.
Additional dressing can be served on the side.
Substitute blue cheese with feta for a milder flavor if preferred.
