Step 1
Place the 2 eggs in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.

While eggs cook, wash and tear the 4 cups lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Slice the 1 cucumber into thin rounds.
Step 3
Drain the eggs and run under cold water until cool. Peel and slice into halves or quarters.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 5
Add the lettuce and cucumber to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 6
Top the salad with the sliced eggs and serve with the 2 whole grain crackers on the side.
