Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9–10 minutes.
While the eggs are boiling, wash the cherry tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly. Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and the cucumber into thin rounds.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and set it aside.
Once the eggs are finished boiling, transfer them to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them into quarters.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumber, boiled eggs, and chopped parsley.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to mash the eggs.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
