Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
While the eggs cook, rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes, peel the cucumber, and dice it into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Once the eggs are done, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Peel the cooled eggs and slice them into quarters or wedges.
Add the sliced eggs to the salad bowl with the tomatoes and cucumber.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything to combine.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the salad as a garnish and serve immediately.
