  3. Add the romaine, spinach and cucumber to the bowl but don't toss yet.
  4. In another bowl whisk the eggs, milk, the remaining two thirds of the salt and the remaining half of the black pepper until no streaks of white remain.
  5. Toast the bread while you cook the eggs.
  6. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir slowly with a spatula, pushing the curds from the edges, for 4 to 6 minutes.
  7. When the eggs are softly set but still glossy, stir in the dill and half of the green onion; cook until no liquid egg remains and the eggs reach 160°F (71°C).
  8. Toss the greens with the dressing.
  9. Divide the scramble among 4 plates, scatter the remaining half of the green onion on top, and serve with the dressed greens and toast.
