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.
