Ingredients

Scale

Salad:

  • 2 hearts romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 english cucumber
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, whole or sliced
  • 4 hard boiled eggs
  • 4 large pepperocini peppers, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1 cup (8oz) feta cheese crumbles

Dressing:

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic, diced
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh or dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. For the hard boiled eggs: Fill a medium saucepan with water and add the four eggs.
  2. Bring water and eggs to a rolling boil. Then immediately turn off, cover, and set the saucepan to the side for 10-12 minutes.
  3. After 10-12 minutes, using a slotted spoon put the eggs directly in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Once eggs are cooled to the touch, peel and cut in halves or quarters.
  5. For the dressing: In a dressing container or mason jar combine the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar, diced garlic, worchestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix vigorously and set to the side.
  6. For the salad: In a large serving bowl add the prepared romaine hearts.
  7. Top the romaine with the sliced red onion, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, sliced pepperocini peppers, feta cheese crumbles, and hard boiled eggs.

Notes

Replace the worcestershire sauce for anchovy paste for a deeper richer dressing flavor.
