Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens (such as arugula, watercress, and butter lettuce)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Black olives
- 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the salad. Rinse the mixed salad greens under cold water and dry them using a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves, peel and chop the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the quarter piece of red onion.
Slice the black olives into halves and peel and quarter the hard-boiled eggs.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and black olives.
In a small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently until all the ingredients are well coated.
Arrange the quartered eggs on top of the salad for garnish and additional protein.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best texture, or cover and refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
