Instructions:

1.2 Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
1.3 Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat and cover it with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes.
1.4 Drain the hot water and put the eggs in an ice-water bath to cool them quickly. Once cooled, peel and slice the eggs into quarters or slices.
2.1 In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil.
2.2 Whisk together until the mixture is emulsified and smooth.
2.3 Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
3.1 Rinse the lettuce under cold water and dry thoroughly, either by using a salad spinner or patting it down with paper towels.
3.2 Tear or chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
3.3 Wash and finely chop the fresh parsley. Add it to the bowl with the lettuce.
4.1 Add the sliced eggs to the bowl with the lettuce and parsley.
4.2 Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad.
4.3 Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
5.1 If desired, sprinkle shaved Parmesan cheese on top of the salad for added flavor.
6.1 Divide the salad among individual plates or serve it in the large bowl.
6.2 Enjoy immediately while fresh!
Tips:
- For perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
- Use fresh, high-quality olive oil for a more flavorful dressing.
- Chop the parsley finely to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the salad.
- Gently toss the lettuce with the dressing to avoid bruising the leaves.
