If you’re a busy mom and you need a healthy lunch that actually keeps you full, this 10-minute egg salad with feta and mozzarella is an easy one to repeat. It’s fresh, crunchy, and protein-forward, with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, a boiled egg, feta, mozzarella cubes, red onion, and carrot, finished with a simple vinaigrette. If you already have boiled eggs in the fridge, it’s basically a no-cook lunch you can throw together in minutes.

Ingredients (1 large serving, or 2 smaller servings)

Salad

• Mixed lettuce or romaine, chopped (about 3 to 4 cups, 100 to 140g)
• Cherry tomatoes (about 1 cup, 120 to 150g)
• 1 egg, boiled and sliced
• Feta cheese, crumbled (about 30g)
• Mozzarella cheese cubes (about 30g)
• Red onion, thinly sliced (about 20g)
• Carrot, shredded or thinly sliced (about 30g)

Vinaigrette

• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (15ml)
• 2 tsp red wine vinegar (10ml)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How to Prepare

1. Make the vinaigrette: In a small jar or bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, oregano, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
2. Prep the bowl: Add the chopped lettuce to a large bowl or plate. Scatter over cherry tomatoes, red onion, and carrot.
3. Add the protein: Top with the sliced boiled egg, then add the feta and mozzarella cubes.
4. Dress and serve: Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss gently right before eating.

Optional: If you want it extra cold and crisp, chill the salad (without dressing) for 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips and Variations

• Make-ahead: Keep the salad ingredients prepped in the fridge, but store the vinaigrette separately and dress right before eating.
• Milder onion: Soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain.
• More protein: Add a second boiled egg, or add a handful of grilled chicken.
• Lower carb: Skip the bread and add extra lettuce or cucumber for volume.
• Cheese swap: Use only feta or only mozzarella if that’s what you have.
