In a large serving bowl, combine chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced hard-boiled eggs, crispy bacon, and sliced avocado.
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Drizzle the dressing generously over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
