Two Egg Salads - My Entry for @the1ramp Food Photography Contest

in busy •  6 years ago 

I eat a lot of salads and go for simple ingredients. Here are two egg salads I recently made and neither one of them is finished yet in these photos.

The first salad has Thai Holy Basil as a main flavoring. If you add this herb to any dish, it pops in flavor.

I will cut the basil finely and mix it with the veggies already chopped. The eggs will be further chopped as well. Coconut oil and lime juice will be my dressing with turmeric and black pepper added.

My second salad only needs to be mixed. I was taking a photo of the lovely pepitas seeds I got in Bangkok, Thailand. I was eating them raw like this and they were so good. They were crunchy and tender at the same time, and also very inexpensive there.

The eggs in this case are a type called "salted." I had never had them before coming to SE Asia and now I love them. Basically, the eggs are soaked in brine for weeks and have a very smooth and mild flavor. You can tell you are getting one at the store or market because the shell will be dyed pink or blue.

I mixed the salad but kept the eggs on the side so I would get the flavor I love.
