- 150 grams mixed salad greens
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9 minutes.
After 9 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool before peeling.
While the eggs are cooling, wash and slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and the halved cherry tomatoes.
Peel the cooled eggs and cut them into quarters.
Add the egg quarters to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
