  A beautiful vegetable collection. Ready for a composed Salad.

For the composed salad, using what you have that is the way, I have all these beautiful leafy green, add cured meat. The preparation is involving frying the meat and egg.  The plan is to make the composed salad as a main meal.

 From prosciutto to chorizo which is chopped and ready to pan fry.

Love the composed salad to be served with sourdough bread.  Let the bread shine and complement the dish. White soft bread is as good if the sourdough is not available.

The egg is deep-fried (French-style deep-fried egg), not boiled.  The dressing is a mustard dressing, add fresh herbs and olive oil.
