This salad is based on one I had at a national chain steak
house. It really produces a wonderfully balanced and surprising flavor.
Goes well with just about any meal.

Make the dressing first and allow to sit about 30 minutes.
Place lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper
in a jar with a tight lid and shake vigorously.
For the salad, chop the romaine and place on a large plate.
Arrange the hearts of palm over the lettuce. Sprinkle the olives
over the lettuce and hearts of palm. Now place the quartered
eggs and tomatoes around the plate. Salt and pepper the eggs
and tomatoes to taste. Top with the dressing and serve.
