Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce

- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 9 minutes to achieve hard-boiled eggs.
Step 3
After 9 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cool, peel the eggs and slice them into quarters.
Step 4
Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds. Thinly slice the red onion.
Step 5
Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion to the salad bowl with the lettuce.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is emulsified.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top with the quartered eggs.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
