Soft Boiled Egg and Cucumber, Dill and Caper Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 bunch dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp small capers
  • 1 tsp white balsamic or white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Method

  1. Combine all salad ingredients, checking seasoning and adjusting if necessary


Tips & Hints

  1. Very fresh eggs can be difficult to peel. To ensure easily peeled eggs, buy and refrigerate them a week to 10 days in advance of cooking. This brief "breather" allows the eggs time to take in air, which helps separate the membranes from the shell.
