Salad days - Boiled egg yolks

Salads have becoming something of an obsession so I thought I would share my hot tips for making them taste better.

🥬Chop everything into tiny pieces, maximising the potential for multiple flavours in each mouthful.
🥬 Use a container with a lid for easy tossing. I never did get the hang of using salad servers which usually end up with me flinging bits all over the floor and bench.  
🥬 It doesn't make anything taste better, but I have found that some vegetables are easier to clean with a quick wipe with damp paper towel rather than rinsing. Celery is a good example of this.
🥬 Add herbs or vegetables with strong flavour such as fennel or radish.
🥬 Add as many interesting bits as possible! Today's tip - egg yolks.

BOILED EGG YOLKS

1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water
2. Gently bring to the boil to reduce the risk of the shells cracking
3. Once the water is boiling, set a timer for 8 minutes
4. After 8 minutes, remove from the heat, drain and cover with cold water to stop the cooking process
5. Peel. Remove the whites (keeping them for somebody else!) and revel in yolks which should be set but ever so slightly moist

Enjoy ❤️
