- 1 medium cucumber chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 small ribs celery chopped
- 1 medium orange bell pepper or variety of choice, chopped
- ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ¼ cup about 9 pitted olives, halved, we used Castelvetrano for lower sodium

- 1 garlic clove
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
- Gently place eggs in simmering water to cover by an inch. For jammy eggs, cook 8 minutes, drain and cool in an ice bath for two minutes before draining and peeling under cold running water. If you like a firmer yolk, add another minute or two.
- Place romaine in a large serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with fresh herbs. Arrange the remaining ingredients over the greens creating a rainbow of color and season with black pepper. Serve with Tuna Tonnato Sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
