Ingredients
For the Salad:
– 6 large eggs
– 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
– 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
For the Creamy Dressing:
– ½ cup mayonnaise
– ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook the Eggs

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

2. Prepare the Bacon

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.

3. Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop into bite-sized pieces. Slice cherry tomatoes in half and finely dice the red onion.

4. Make the Creamy Dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings.

5. Combine the Salad

In a large bowl, add chopped lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and half of the crumbled bacon.

Add the creamy dressing and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

6. Add the Eggs

Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs to keep them from breaking apart too much.

7. Assemble the Cups

Divide the salad into four individual serving containers.

Layer the dressed lettuce mixture, tomatoes, chopped eggs, and crispy bacon. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and fresh parsley.

8. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve chilled and enjoy!
