    Wash and dry the salad greens. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red onion thinly, and trim the green beans.

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and cool under cold water.

    Hard boil the eggs

    Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 9-12 minutes. Cool in ice water, peel, and cut into quarters.

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and green beans.
