  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped, to the lettuce mixture.
  5. Pour dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat evenly.
  6. Garnish with additional sliced hard-boiled eggs, if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
