Directions
- Aside from the eggs, start adding all the ingredients into a large salad bowl in tiny batches, one after the other, until all are used up. Each ingredient should be applied in batches so they can be even.
- Arrange the sliced eggs flat on top of the remaining ingredients.
- Refrigerate the bowl for at least one hour and ensure it is covered. This helps all of the flavours from the components combine well.
- Serve with your favourite salad dressing, and enjoy.
