Ingredients
Method
- Add the peas to 2 cups water and bring this to a boil with a pinch of salt and sugar each. Let it simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes, until peas are soft.
- Drain in a colander and refresh with cold water to keep the peas green. Adding a pinch of salt and sugar to the water is also to retain the green colour.
- Wash the lettuce in a sink filled with water or a tub. Repeat the wash 2-3 times until the residual water is clean.
- Shake off excess water and dry on muslin cloth or absorbent towel, until the leaves are well dried. Chop or tear into bite sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, place all salad ingredients, except eggs. Pour the dressing (reserving a teaspoon full) and toss gently using finger tips.
- Remove into a salad plate and arrange the boiled eggs on top, pouring the remaining dressing on the eggs.
- Sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper or dried herbs over the top for extra zing.
- The recipe is indicative - you could use any and as much of greens and other veggies you like.
