Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the hard-boiled eggs. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and let them sit for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the eggs to cold water, and peel when cool.

Meanwhile, rinse the mixed salad greens under cool water, then gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner.

Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut each in half.

Step 4

Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly.

Step 5

Core and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 6

Peel the red onion and slice it into thin rings.

Step 7

Once the eggs are cooled and peeled, slice each egg into quarters.

Step 8

In a large salad bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, onion rings, and black olives.

Step 9

In a small bowl or a jar, mix together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well until the dressing is emulsified.

Step 10

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 11

Top the salad with the quartered egg slices.

Step 12

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
