Ingredients

Eggs and Seasoning

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Salad Components

  • 1 small head of radicchio, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1 medium shallot, chopped
  • 3 baby radishes, shaved thin

To Serve

  • Little dollop of salted crème fraîche and/or
  • Drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water by about a half-inch. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes to cook through perfectly.
  3. Cool the Eggs: Prepare a large bowl of ice water. After cooking, transfer the eggs to the ice bath and let them chill for 7 to 10 minutes to stop the cooking process and cool completely.
  4. Peel and Grate the Eggs: Crack and peel each egg carefully. Using the larger holes on a standard box grater, grate the eggs into a bowl, creating a shredded texture.
  5. Season and Combine: Gently toss the shredded eggs with the salt and pepper using your fingers. Add the shredded radicchio, chopped dill, shallots, and shaved radishes. Mix to combine evenly.
  6. Serve: Plate the salad and finish by adding small dollops of salted crème fraîche or a drizzle of olive oil. These toppings add creaminess and richness without weighing the salad down.

Notes

  • Serves 3 people.
  • Customize your salad with additional ingredients like herbs, nuts, or different vegetables for variety.
  • The key to the perfect texture is not overcooking the eggs and cooling them immediately in ice water.
  • Use salted crème fraîche or plain yogurt for a creamy topping alternative.
