Make Ahead: Cover & refrigerate without dressing for up to 1 day; toss with dressing about 1 hour before serving. For hard-boiled eggs: place in single layer in saucepan; cover with 1 inch of water; bring just to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce to low heat and cook at bare simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; immediately pour out hot water and cover eggs with ice-cold water. Let stand in water until cool. Exchanges: 2 starch, 1/2 vegetable, 1 lean meat, 1/2 medium fat meat, 1/2 high fat meat, 1/2 fat
