In a small pot over medium-high heat, add eggs and fill a pot with water until just submerging eggs. Bring water to a rolling boil, decrease the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and boil for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath.

While eggs chill in an ice bath, fry bacon in a large pan until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Crumble bacon using hands or pulse in a food processor. Reserve 1/4 cup bacon grease.

Transfer reserved bacon fat to a small saucepan and add apple cider vinegar, dijon, salt, and pepper. Over low heat, bring mixture to a simmer and whisk together until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

To a small pan, add avocado oil and sunflower seeds and heat over medium-low heat until golden, about 1-2 minutes.

Once eggs have sat in an ice bath for 10-15 minutes, peel eggs and slice lengthwise.

To a large mixing bowl, add hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, toasted sunflower seeds, romaine, chopped green onions, and warm bacon dressing and toss using spoons or tongs. Divide salad between 4 bowls and serve.
