Everything but herbs, olive oil, lemon juice & seasoning.

Now for eggs.

In a large pot, half fill with water, add salt and vinegar and bring to the boil.
6
Reduce heat until it is gently simmering- little bubbles rising from centre of pot.
7
Crack eggs into separate small bowls.
8
Now with a large spoon, stir water in pot to make a slow whirlpool and drop eggs into the centre of whirlpool.
9
Do this one at a time maybe 20 seconds apart.
10
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to keep runny yolk.

Remove eggs with slotted spoon and place on top of salad.

I served mine with thinly sliced coriander/ lemon & lime flavoured roasted chicken breast- but I imagine fresh or fried leg ham would be nice too.
