Cooking the Eggs Quickly

As in the previous recipe, boil your eggs to your liking, either soft or hard-boiled. Remember to shock them in an ice bath to stop the cooking and make them easier to peel.

Preparing the Salad Components

Wash and dry the baby spinach. Dice the cucumber. Halve the Kalamata olives. Crumble the feta cheese. Having all the components ready before assembling ensures a quick process.

Creating the Lemon-Herb Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.

Assembling and Serving

In a bowl, combine the spinach, cucumber, olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Add the boiled eggs, sliced or quartered. Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
