Instructions

Boiled Egg Salad

  • Prepare your green beans by using a knife to cut each end off then cut each bean in half.

  • Use a knife to slice the cucumber into thin pieces
  • Remove the rind from the speck and cut into chunky pieces
  • USe a knife to cut the tomatoes in half
  • Boil your eggs for 6 mins (either in the Instant Pot or the Stove top). Use kitchen tongs to transfer to a cold water bath immediately after cooking.
  • Add the oil to a fry plan and cook speck for 4-5 mins at a medium-low heat until crispy. Transfer to a bowl and use paper towel to absorb any excess oil
  • Combine Greek Yoghurt and Mustard in a small bowl and stir to mix together, season with cracked black pepper

Notes

  • Note 1 Cooking the green beans by pouring boiling water over them and letting them sit is SO EASY. A tiny bit of salt and you are good to go. The beans stay nice and crunchy this way. 
  • Note 2 Speck is a smoked pork product and is very similar to bacon but a little bit chunkier and chewier. You can find it in the deli section or in some cold meat sections of the supermarket. You can use bacon also if you prefer. 
  • Note 3 Using Greek Yoghurt is my all time favourite way to make a dressing for salad. It gives you a thick and creamy dressing without using cream or mayo! If you want the dressing to be thick and dollop like, simply stir together. If you want it to be thinner and drizzle like use a blender or food processor to combine.
