- 1/2 pound mixed salad greens
- 8 quail's eggs, boiled
- 1/4 pound ham in a single thick slice, diced
- 4 slices of bread, cubed and toasted
- Wine vinegar
- Olive oil
- Minced tarragon, salt, and pepper to taste
Preparation:
While the quail's eggs are boiling, cube and toast the slices of bread, and sauté the diced ham for a few minutes in a no-stick sauce pan. Peel the eggs when they are done.Combine the eggs, salad, and ham in a bowl.
Prepare a vinaigrette sauce with the vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, and tarragon, and stir it into the salad. Serve with the croutons on the side.
