Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula, etc.)
- 2 pieces hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup optional toppings (croutons, seeds, nuts, etc.)
Instructions
Prepare the hard-boiled eggs: Place the eggs in a small saucepan and add cold water until the eggs are completely covered. Heat over medium-high until the water reaches a rolling boil. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Then, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling.
Wash and dry the salad greens thoroughly. Place them in a large mixing or serving bowl.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add them to the bowl with the greens.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons. Add it to the salad.
Slice the red onion thinly and add it to the mix. Use a smaller portion of the onion if you prefer a milder taste.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them into quarters or slices. Gently place them on top of the salad.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are lightly coated.
Sprinkle optional toppings like croutons, seeds, or nuts for added crunch and flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
