How do I hard-cook eggs perfectly for this salad?

Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 8–10 minutes. Cool in ice water before peeling.

Can I substitute the Greek yogurt in the dressing?

Yes, sour cream can be used as a substitute for a similar creamy texture, or use all mayonnaise for a richer taste.

Cucumber, radishes, celery, and romaine lettuce add a fresh and crisp crunch that balances the creamy dressing.

Toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds add extra crunch and nutty notes to the salad.

A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or sparkling water with lemon complements the fresh, herby flavors beautifully.
