Ingredients
Scale
Egg Salad
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a creamy base for the salad.
- Combine the salad ingredients: Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced chicken breast, crumbled bacon, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, and finely chopped red onion to the bowl with the dressing.
- Mix gently: Fold all ingredients carefully together to coat everything evenly with the dressing. Be gentle to avoid mashing the avocado and maintain the salad’s texture.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the top of the salad for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve the salad chilled, either on lettuce wraps, as a dip with low-carb vegetables, or simply as a hearty standalone salad.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, add more avocado or mayonnaise according to your preference.
- If blue cheese is not preferred, substitute with feta cheese or omit it entirely.
- To prepare the salad in advance, combine all ingredients except for the avocado; add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
