Cook this recipe
- romaine lettuce-8 cups
- hard-boiled eggs-4 large egg
- Swiss cheese-4 oz
- cheddar cheese-4 oz
- cucumber-1 medium
- cherry tomatoes-1 1/2 cups
- red onion-1/4 cup
- extra-virgin olive oil-1/4 cup
- red wine vinegar-2 tablespoons
- Dijon mustard-1 teaspoon
- kosher salt-1/2 teaspoon
- black pepper-1/4 teaspoon
Chop the romaine, quarter the eggs, cut both cheeses into strips, slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
Keep hard-boiled eggs refrigerated until ready to use.
Keep fingertips tucked safely away from the knife blade while cutting.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until the dressing looks smooth and lightly thickened.
In a large salad bowl, add the romaine, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion, then toss gently to combine.
Arrange the hard-boiled eggs, Swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese over the salad in neat sections for a classic chef salad presentation with visible toppings.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the arranged salad just before serving, or serve the dressing on the side, and serve immediately for the best crisp texture.
