Instructions
Toss all the salad ingredients in a large bowl with the oil, vinegar and salt. Test for flavour and add a bit more oil, vinegar or salt if needed. Now peel the eggs under cold water (hold them under water while peeling), then halve them and lay them on the salad.
If you want a creamier dressing shake the olive oil, vinegar and salt in a bottle with a tablespoon of full fat creme fraiche and a touch of Dijon mustard.
