Romaine Salad

This is an Albanian dish.
Green leaves and a touch of sharpness are complemented by the hard boiled eggs.

Ingredients

a few romaine lettuce leaves
1 medium red onion
3 hens eggs
Fair Trade Olive Oil
1 FAIRTRADE lemon
salt
FAIRTRADE black pepper
FAIRTRADE Sources
Fresh food
Lemons
Herbs and Spices
Brazil Nut Oil
Olive Oil

Method

Preparation
Hard boil the eggs (12 minutes) in boiling water.
Once cooked, cool under running cold water, shell and slice.
Wash the lettuce and tear into small pieces.
Peel and chop very fine, or grate the onion.
Juice the lemon.
Assembly
Mix the lettuce and onion, and decorate with slices of egg.
To serve
Serve with a salad dressing of Fair Trade Olive Oil and FAIRTRADE lemon juice all jazzed up with a good pinch of salt and a generous helping of FAIRTRADE ground black pepper.
(I would use twice the volume of oil as there is lemon juice).
Meze: Serve with FAIRTRADE Chardonnay.

Variations
Cheat and buy a bag of mixed lettuce leaves if you can't get the Romaine lettuce.
