FAQs

1. Can I use other types of lettuce?
Yes, you can use any salad greens you like, such as spinach or kale, instead of romaine lettuce.

2. How do I soften the eggs?
To get soft-boiled eggs, gently simmer them for about 7 minutes, then cool them in ice water. This gives you a slightly runny yolk.

3. Can I make this salad ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep the ingredients in advance, but it’s best to add the dressing right before serving to keep everything fresh.
