Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook the eggs for 10 minutes.
While the eggs cook, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely dice the red onion. Chop the fresh parsley finely and set everything aside.
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for about 2 minutes, then peel the shells off and slice each egg into quarters.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped parsley. If using optional baby spinach, add it now.
Gently fold in the quartered eggs to avoid breaking them too much.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for a cooler dish.
