Why You’ll Love This Simple Green Salad
This Green Salad is so simple yet bursting with flavor. The secret to its success is slicing the lettuce as thinly as possible, which allows the flavors of the dressing to marinate all throughout. If you know me, you know that I cannot eat 🥬 lettuce in huge chunks so the way salad is cut makes ALL the difference in the world. I love it because it’s substantial too, thanks to the hard boiled eggs 🥚. It comes together quickly and you can use any of your favourite spring veggies.
How to Prepare Simple Green Salad
🥚 First, boil the eggs in a pot of boiling water, about 10 minutes. While they cook, prepare a large bowl of ice water. Submerge the cooked eggs into the ice water. Cool and peel.
🥬 Stack the lettuce leaves, roll them tightly (just like a cigar), and thinly slice with a sharp knife. The thinner the better!
🥣 Next, transfer the lettuce to a serving bowl along with the cucumber, radishes, and green onions. Now season to taste with olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and salt and then toss it altogether.
🥗 Finally, peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them in half. Nestle the egg halves on top of the green salad and season each egg with a touch of salt and tiny drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
