Egg, Cucumber and Herb Salad

by

fresh egg cucumber mint salad styled on table with linenThis egg, cucumber and herb salad is one of my favourites. It has a lot of fresh flavours from the variety of herbs, is packed with nutritional benefits and it keeps really well in the fridge (about 5 days). This means I can make a big batch at the start of the week and portion it out in containers for the family’s lunches throughout the week . It’s great in summer because it is light to eat and impressively colourful which makes it perfect to take with you to a summer BBQ gathering – guaranteed to impress!

What wine does well with this?

If you’re entertaining with this one, I recommend a glass of pinot gris.

If using as a side, what mains go well with this egg and cucumber salad?

Pumpkin, ricotta and spinach gluten free slice

Other mains that go well with this include this pumpkin ricotta and spinach gluten free slice (pictured above) which is good hot or at room temperature (making it nice for picnics).

Healthy Corn Fritters and Chilli Guacamole

It would also go nicely with these healthy corn fritters and chilli guacamole.

Healthy Shepherds Pie

Perhaps its winter and you want to pair it with something more dense? Try my low GI version of a shepherds pie.
