Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs cook for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are boiling, slice the tomatoes into wedges, thinly slice the cucumber, and finely dice the red onion.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
After 10 minutes of boiling, remove the eggs from the heat and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool for 2 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs and slice them into quarters. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl or platter, arrange the tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and boiled egg quarters.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley as a garnish.
Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving.
