What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 4 avocado (sliced)
  • 4 ounces romaine lettuce (shredded into bite-sized pieces)
  • 4 ounces cherry tomato (halved)
  • 4 ounces cucumber (half-moon sliced)
  • 2 ounces yellow bell pepper (coarsely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup scallion (diagonally sliced)
  • 2 large eggs (hard-boiled)
  • 1 ounce pan-fried bacon
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
  1. Boil the Eggs: Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, then gently drop the eggs in, one at a time. When the surface starts bubbling, reduce to a simmer and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes then transfer them into ice water when done.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk 1 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder together until the mixture turns dark brown with a slightly thick consistency.
  3. Assemble the Salad: On a plate, make a bed of 4 oz romaine lettuce then lay 4 oz avocado, 4 oz cherry tomato, 4 oz cucumber, 2 oz yellow bell pepper, 2 large eggs, and 1 oz pan-fried bacon over.
  4. Garnish and Drizzle the Sauce: Garnish the salad with 1/4 cup scallion. Drizzle the sauce over the salad then lightly toss to evenly coat the ingredients. Enjoy!
