- 1 oz pitted black olives
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon juice

- Place an egg in a small pot and fill with cold water until one inch above the egg. Bring water to rapid boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with lid and remove from the heat. Do not lift the lid. Set a timer for 4-12 minutes (longer time means more well-done egg).
- Drain hot water and fill the pot with cold water. Leave the egg in the cold water for 3 minutes and then remove. Gently tap the egg against a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the shell off the egg. Rinse the shelled egg under cold water to remove any bits of the shell and pat dry. Slice the egg in pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange mixed greens on a dinner plate and top with cooked chicken cubes, sliced egg, bell pepper, tomato, onion, and black olives.
- Drizzle with olive oil dressing or use a different favorite dressing.
