Forget everything you think you know about salads. This isn't your average bowl; it's a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal inspired by the warming spices of India—my personal favorite cuisine!. It delivers on every front: lean protein from the prawns and egg, tons of Vitamin C from the greens and pepper, and serious gut-friendly fiber from the crispy chickpeas.

Ingredients

3-4 red romaine lettuce leaves

2 endive leaves

100g prawns (raw, peeled)

1 organic egg

4 broccolini spears

¼ red pepper

½ tsp curry powder

1 Tbsp olive oil, fresh coriander leaves

salt and pepper to taste

a handful of crispy chickpeas

½ lemon

Instructions

1. Prep Broccolini & Prawns: In a medium pan, heat ½ Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccolini spears, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove the broccolini and set aside. Add ½ Tbsp of olive oil to the pan, toss the prawns with the curry powder, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 3–4 minutes until pink and thoroughly cooked. Set aside.
2. Poach the Egg: If you need a refresher on the technique, check out our Guide
3. Prep Veggies & Assemble: While the egg cooks, slice the red pepper. Clean and arrange the red romaine and endive leaves in your bowl. Artistically place the warm curried prawns, sautéed broccolini, and red pepper.
4. Finish & Serve: Top the salad with the warm, poached egg. Sprinkle with crispy chickpeas and fresh coriander leaves. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a bright squeeze of ½ lemon, then serve immediately.

Chef’s Notes

Tip Poaching Perfection: Adding a splash of vinegar to your poaching water helps the egg whites set faster, ensuring a perfectly contained, rich yolk!

Storage: This salad should be consumed immediately after assembly to maintain the crispness of the greens and the warmth of the egg and prawns.

Allergens: Contains Shellfish (Prawns).
