Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 bunch Dutch carrots

Eggs

  • 2 large free-range eggs

Nuts

  • 40 g pistachios

Condiments

  • 200 g hummus
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots: Wash the Dutch carrots thoroughly and peel if desired. Cook them until tender by boiling or steaming, about 10-15 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Soft-boil the eggs: Place the eggs in boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-yolk consistency. Remove the eggs and place them in cold water to stop cooking. Once cooled, peel carefully.
  3. Toast the pistachios: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pistachios until fragrant and slightly browned, about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Assemble the salad: Arrange the cooked carrots on a serving plate. Dollop the hummus evenly over or alongside the carrots. Halve or quarter the soft-boiled eggs and place them atop or beside the carrots.
  5. Garnish and season: Sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the salad. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Optionally drizzle a little olive oil for added richness.
  6. Serve: Serve the salad slightly warm or at room temperature for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh, organic Dutch carrots for the best sweetness and texture.
  • For a vegan version, replace soft-boiled eggs with sliced avocado.
  • Adjust the softness of the eggs by cooking time; longer for firmer yolk.
  • To enhance flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice over the salad before serving.
  • Store leftover salad components separately to maintain texture.
