- For the best avocado slices, choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and then slice them into thin slices.
- To make the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- To assemble the salad, place the bacon, avocado slices, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and blue cheese crumbles in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
- Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for later. The salad will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
