Ingredients
- 4 Eggs
- 1/3 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsps Fresh Dill (chopped)
- 2 tbsps Water
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
- 5 leaves Romaine (chopped)
- 1/3 cup Radishes (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Snap Peas (trimmed)
- 4 slices Bacon, cooked (chopped)
Instructions
- Start with the eggs in a saucepan, covering with water. Leave to boil. When it hits boiling point, switch off the heat and let it sit for 12 minutes. Drain and run cold water over the eggs until they're cool. Peel and quarter them, then set them aside.
- While your eggs are cooking, take a small bowl or jar and mix the yogurt, lemon juice, dill, water, salt, and pepper. Whisk it up, or give the jar a shake until it's well combined.
- Grab a large salad bowl and add the romaine, radishes, peas, and cooked bacon. Pour in the dressing and toss to combine. Add the eggs and toss gently for mixing. Divide between plates and get ready for the crunch.
Notes and simple swaps
- Leftovers keep in an airtight container for up to three days. Dress just before serving so the greens stay crisp.
- One serving is roughly 2 1/2 cups of salad and two eggs.
- Crumbled blue cheese, nuts, seeds, or fresh chives all play nicely on top if you want a little extra texture.
