Simple Egg and Prosciutto Salad (low FODMAP) is an answer for me when I don’t have idea what to prepare for late brunch at home or a lunch for work. It really is quick, the longest it takes to soft boil the eggs, but this can be done in advance, too.
SIMPLE EGG AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD (LOW FODMAP)
In this salad the have 3 eggs, but you can use less if you wish. But I think that two eggs are a minimum, because their halves are being wrapped in Prosciutto ham slices. As you can see on the picture, two egg halves are being left “lonely”, but this is for the nice effect to see a beautiful soft boiled egg yolk. In the end we eat with our eyes, too!

How to recognise a good, fresh cucumber?
Today’s simple salad sings, when you use the best quality and fresh ingredients. Of course you need excellent prosciutto ham, which you can find in many supermarkets, ripe cherry tomatoes and a crunchy cucumber.
I have to say that I always touch the vegetables in the shops, especially a cucumber. Use by date is not everything. From my experience in UK supermarkets I know that cucumbers that are thicker, shorter and with darker green skin are not as nice. But the longer, thinner cucumbers, often a bit bend in the end, as well as more firm will be much better and fresher. They can stay in the fridge for longer, too.

INGREDIENTS FOR A SIMPLE EGG AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD (LOW FODMAP):
3 eggs, soft boiled
2 slices of prosciutto ham (sliced lengthways in half)
3 leaves of romaine Lettuce
5 slices of a Cucumber
3 cherry tomatoes
1/4 of an orange pepper
INSTRUCTIONS TO PREPARE THIS EGG AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD:
Soft boil the eggs. I usually place the eggs in a cold water, then bring them to boil and continue boiling on medium heat for exactly 3 minutes. Then take it off the heat, drain the hot water and pour cold tap water on eggs to cool. Easy!
Chop the lettuce leaves, slice the cucumber and half the cherry tomatoes. Arrange all on the plate.
Peel the eggs and half them.
Cut the prosciutto ham slices lengthways in half. Roll the four egg halves in the ham slices. Together with other two egg halves, place the ham eggs on the salad.
Enjoy!
