  • 1 medium red onion, diced (earn 3 Points)
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • (to taste) salt and pepper
  • 1 cup scallions, minced

Instructions


PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 400°F.

Place bacon slices in a single layer on a cooling rack placed inside a baking sheet. If you don’t have a cooling rack, simply line the baking sheet with foil before placing bacon on top. Bake until bacon is crispy, around 15 minutes.

STEP 2

While bacon is baking, cook the potatoes by placing them in a pan then covering with cold water. Boil until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Strain and set aside.

STEP 3

Hard boil the eggs to your desired level of doneness. Let eggs cool enough to peel them into bite-sized pieces. Place cooked potatoes in a large bowl along with diced, cooked eggs.

STEP 4

Remove bacon from oven and chop into small pieces. Add to the bowl along with the potatoes and eggs.

STEP 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together dressing: mayo, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle dressing over the potatoes, bacon, and eggs, then toss to coat. Sprinkle in scallions before serving. Can be served warm, room temperature, or chilled.
