Directions

  1. 1

    Place the salad greens in a large salad bowl or on a serving platter.

  2. 2

    Gently arrange the halved quail eggs over the salad.

  3. 3

    Add the cherry tomatoes, kiwi slices, and diced green bell pepper, spacing them out for a harmonious presentation.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth, emulsified dressing.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss gently to avoid crushing the eggs.

    Sprinkle generously with the grated Parmesan cheese.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately to preserve the freshness and crisp texture.

💡 Chef's Tip

Chef's tip: Prepare the ingredients in advance, but add the vinaigrette only at the moment of serving to prevent the salad from wilting. Quail eggs have a delicate texture—handle them with care. You can add toasted pine nuts or walnuts for extra crunch.
