Leek salad

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 Young leeks; up to 5
Water
1 teaspoon Salt; (depends on the quantity of water)
Lemon juice
Salad oil
1 Egg

Directions

Use only young leeks. After thorough cleaning (of course), cut them in 5-7 cm pieces, (about 2 inches). Use the white part, possibly also the beginning of the green. Cook them in salted boiling water until they are tender but still whole. (Check with a knife).

Take them out of the water and arrange them nicely on a platter. Mix some lemon juice and a little salad oil and pour on the vegetable. Let cool a few hours in the fridge.

Before serving, grate a hard boiled egg and sprinkle it on the leek. Looks a bit exotic and it is very refreshing.
