With eggs giving a significant amount of protein, this salad is perfect to have as a filling weekend brunch, post-workout meal, or even as a light dinner. The spicy garlic dressing keeps it enjoyable, whereas the eggs make it fulfilling enough to keep your hunger at bay for longer.

Ingredients

6 eggs, boiled and peeled 1 tbsp oil 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 dried red chillies, crushed 1 green chilli, chopped 1 small onion, sliced 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp vinegar ½ tsp black pepper Salt to taste 1 tbsp spring onion greens 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional) Lettuce or cucumber slices for serving

Step 1

Boil the eggs and let them cool down thoroughly, peel them, and cut them into four pieces. 

Step 2

In a pan, heat oil and add chopped garlic and crushed red chillies to it. Cook this until the garlic turns golden and the raw fragrance fades. 

Step 3

To this, now add sliced onions and slit green chillies. Stir it briefly, just until the onions turn soft and have some crunch. 

Step 4

Now, to the pan, add soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Cook the sauce for a minute so that it gets a deep flavour.

Step 5

Once cooked, add the boiled eggs and gently toss them so that the chilli garlic mixture covers every piece. 

Step 6

Serve the prepared salad, sprinkle with spring onions and sesame seeds on top, and pair with fresh cucumber or lettuce for a protein-packed weekend meal.
