Recipe

Slice off the crunchy white from the bottom of the romaine; discard. Wash and dry the green part and roughly chop or break up into bite-size pieces.


Remove the tough stems from the arugula; discard. Wash, dry, and roughly tear leaves into bite-size pieces. Place all the ingredients but the eggs in a salad bowl.


Whisk the Dressing ingredients together and toss with the salad at least 15 minutes before serving so that the ingredients can absorb it. Sieve the eggs and sprinkle them over the salad.

Makes 10 generous servings.
