Salted quail eggs and vegetable salad

Published: 12.23.2016 » Last updated: 03.24.2022

For ovo-vegetarians, a bowl of this salad is substantial enough for a filling meal. For omnivores, enjoy it as a side dish to go with grilled or fried meat or fish. We had the salted quail eggs and vegetables salad with fried tilapia and talakitok (trevally) steaks.

If you’re a foodie who follows news about food trends, you probably know that Southeast Asia is obsessed with salted eggs. Enterprising cooks have discovered how to turn the centuries-old delicacy into dried powder form to coat anything from potato chips to chicharon.

Traditionally made with duck eggs, we recently discovered that there are now salted quail eggs in the market. We bought a tray on trial. Yesterday, Alex used them to make this salted quail eggs and vegetables salad.

There is no cooking involved in this recipe. Just cut the vegetables, shell the salted quail eggs and toss with your favorite salad dressing.

You may cut the vegetables into whatever shape and size you like. We gave each vegetable a specific cut to provide the salad with better volume, and an interesting mix of shapes and colors.
