Method

  1. Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and chop coarsely.

  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified to create the dressing.

  3. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.

  4. Flake the drained tuna over the bed of greens and scatter the chopped hard-boiled eggs and fresh parsley on top.

  5. Drizzle the lemon-olive oil dressing evenly over the salad just before serving, toss gently to combine, and divide into bowls.
