Ingredients

1 medium head romaine lettuce
1 large bunch arugula
3/4 pound ripe cherry tomatoes
1 large yellow bell pepper
2 small avocados
1/2 cup minced red onion
2/3 cup olives, like calamata, pitted and quartered
2 hard-cooked eggs
7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Roughly chop romaine lettuce. Remove tough stems from arugula and roughly chop. Stem and quarter tomatoes. Seed and cut pepper into 1/4-inch dice. Peel avocados and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Place these, with onions and olives, in a large bowl. Set hard-cooked eggs aside.
In a separate, smaller bowl, mix ingredients for dressing together. Fifteen minutes before serving, add the dressing to the bowl of salad, tossing well, so that dressing can be absorbed. Press eggs through a sieve and sprinkle over salad. Serve.
