Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as romaine, arugula, or spinach)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives
• 0.5 cup feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and roughly chop the parsley. Add all to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, drain the hot water from the saucepan and transfer the eggs to a bowl with ice water. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the eggs are cooling, make the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 5

Peel and slice the boiled eggs once they are cool to the touch.

Step 6

To the bowl with mixed vegetables, add the salad greens, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Distribute the salad among serving plates or bowls, and top each portion with slices of boiled egg.

Step 8

Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
