Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup English cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 soft-boiled eggs

Instructions
- 1Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle boil and lower in the eggs; cook exactly 6 1/2 minutes for jammy yolks.
- 2Transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 2 minutes, then peel and set aside.
- 3Halve the cherry tomatoes of every color and place them in a large mixing bowl so their juices collect at the bottom.
- 4Add the diced cucumber, thin red onion slices, and halved olives to the tomatoes.
- 5In a small jar, shake together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
- 6Pour the bright dressing over the vegetables and toss gently so every piece is coated.
- 7Fold in most of the chopped parsley and dill, reserving a pinch for garnish.
- 8Divide the salad between two shallow bowls.
- 9Halve the soft-boiled eggs and nestle them on top of each salad.
- 10Sprinkle the remaining herbs and the crumbled feta over everything.
- 11Serve at once with optional warm pita wedges on the side, or chill up to one day for meal-prep mornings.
