What a lovely dish.
That looks gorgeous, Genie! Love the colors and the composition. You take the best photos!
Thanks Daisy, I try. I like photographing cold food. No stress of having to hurry up before the food gets cold 🙂
look at that pretty salad. I’d eat that for breakfast this second…..with a nice cup of tea, please G!
Breakfast salad? Maybe needs more bacon 🙂
Mmm…your salad looks so vibrant and refreshing! And I’m a total sucker for eggs.
Thanks and me too 🙂
Salted duck eggs would be good on this one as well 🙂
I was just going to say this! sprinkled over in place of cheese.. mmm.
I haven’t had a salt egg in a long time. I don’t think I’ve ever cooked with one. Maybe it’s time for a revisit.
Yum!! This looks amazing, Genie! Thank you for introducing me to Chinese tea eggs!! Sounds scrumptious
Thanks MJ and Tim.
This salad looks amzing. I am going to make this tonight – 5.Cheesy kale and mushroom macaroni with breadcrumb and parmesan topping.
Good for leftovers too 🙂
Pasta and soup are 2 dishes that The Koala will happily go vegetarian for. I think as long as there are carbs and sauce, he can do away with meat.
I must give a Chinese tea egg a go!
