Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 9 minutes to achieve hard-boiled eggs.
After 9 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cool, peel the eggs and slice them into quarters.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds. Thinly slice the red onion.
Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion to the salad bowl with the lettuce.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top with the quartered eggs.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
