Cooking
First pour in the quail eggs with water and put on to cook. They have enough 3-4 minutes after boiling. Salad (I have lettuce, you can add other varieties) and tear the hands are laid on the bottom of the dish. Top arbitrarily put fresh cucumber, peeled and sliced semi-circles.
Sprinkle liberally with herbs (I had only dill, and generally, more green is better!)
In the center lay a mound of canned tuna. Buy only high-quality canned food, do not skimp! Bank good of tuna can not cost cheaper $ 100. Tuna you need to take one piece, not pieces. Better in its own juice, but vegetable oil.
My cherry tomatoes, cut in half and spread around the circumference of the dish, leaving a small gap.
Svalivsheesya quail eggs, let cool, peel, cut in half and spread the tomatoes on a chess principle.
This turned out to be a beauty! It remains only, according to your taste and desire: 1) sprinkle the salad with olive oil (if you have tuna in oil, you can skip this step - it will be useful); 2) salt (I usually don't add salt, because the tuna itself is quite salty); 3) pepper and season as you like!
This salad is perfect warm Italian ciabatta or grain bread. I have oatmeal :-)
And, of course, will not prevent the glass of white wine! Bon appetit!
