  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp White vinegar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 (Salad)
  • 1 small handful baby spinach leaves
  • 1 small handful baby beetroot leaves
  • 1/2 small Lebanese cucumber, halved and sliced diagonally
  • 1 small handful sugar snap peas
  • 1 A few slices red onion
  • 5 Red perino cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 5 Gold perino cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 1/2 tsp Oregano leaves
  • 1 1/2 tsp Thyme leaves
  • 2 tbsp Mint leaves
  • 2 Radishes, thinly sliced

  • 1 (Gremolata)
  • 3 tbsp Chopped parsley

Method

  • Get your salad prepped and pile onto serving plate.
  • Everything but herbs, olive oil, lemon juice & seasoning.
  • Prep Gremolata and set aside.
  • Now for eggs.
  • In a large pot, half fill with water, add salt and vinegar and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce heat until it is gently simmering- little bubbles rising from centre of pot.
  • Crack eggs into separate small bowls.
  • Now with a large spoon, stir water in pot to make a slow whirlpool and drop eggs into the centre of whirlpool.
  • Do this one at a time maybe 20 seconds apart.
  • Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to keep runny yolk.
  • Remove eggs with slotted spoon and place on top of salad.
  • Sprinkle Gremolata over the top.
  • Now sprinkle herbs- drizzle olive oil, squeeze lemon juice over- season and serve.
  • I served mine with thinly sliced coriander/ lemon & lime flavoured roasted chicken breast- but I imagine fresh or fried leg ham would be nice too.
  • Bloody beautiful!
  • Enjoy!
