Ingredients
- 4 Essential Free Range White Eggs
- 1 handful/s ice cubes
- 50g Essential Fat Free Greek Style Yogurt
- 1 tbsp Essential Olive Oil
- 1 unwaxed lemon, zest and juice
- ½ x 20g pack dill, finely chopped
- 2 tsp Med Seasoning
- 1 tsp capers, rinsed and finely chopped
- ½ Essential Round Lettuce, trimmed and leaves separated
- ½ x 200g pack Essential Radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 large Essential Carrot, peeled
Method
Bring a small pan of water to the boil and gently add the eggs. Set a timer to 6 minutes. Place some ice cubes into a bowl of cold water, ready for later. Meanwhile, for the dressing. Whisk together the yogurt, oil, lemon zest and juice, dill, Mediterranean seasoning and capers in a bowl. Season and set aside.
After 6 minutes, transfer the eggs to the iced water and leave to chill for a few minutes. Divide the lettuce leaves between 2 plates, drizzle with some of the dressing, then scatter with the radishes. Use a peeler to shave the carrot into ribbons and mound these on top.
Remove the eggs from the water, peel and cut in half. Add 4 halves to each salad, drizzle with a little more dressing, season and serve.
