Egg and Potato Salad

A simple egg salad, with a potato, onion and shredded tomato accompaniment, in mayonnaise. Two eggs were boiled for six minutes, and then cut into pieces, using an egg slicer.

The potato was pre-prepared, and then sliced into chunks, cold. The tomato was shredded, and the raw onion sliced. All mixed with mayonnaise. Chervil was added, but this is not a necessary ingredient. Much white pepper was added.

The eggs were rapidly cooled in the sink, and then sliced. Served with leaves of Romaine lettuce. Quick to prepare, and delicious!

Egg and celery salad

Chopped celery, thinly sliced boiled egg, spring onion, black olive halves, sliced cucumber, yellow pepper, quartered cherry tomatoes, and some fresh Greek Basil leaves. Served with black pepper. Delicious, with lots of crunch. I actually prefer it without the tomato.

This recipe dates from 2012, when a number were posted on Facebook. I got some responses for these. Someone suggested that this recipe might be 'lovely in a pitta bread'.  It could have been served that way, but initially it was served and eaten as a plain salad. The remains of the salad were eaten in the evening in a tortilla wrap, with some salsa.
