How to Make It

01
Soft-boil the eggs

7 minutes in gently simmering water. Ice bath immediately. Peel carefully. The yolk should be set at edges but jammy in the centre.

02
Prepare the radish

Slice watermelon radish very thinly on a mandoline. The pink-and-white interior is the visual centrepiece of this salad.

03
Make classic vinaigrette

Whisk Dijon mustard with white wine vinegar. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking. Emulsify completely. Season generously.

04
Compose carefully

Arrange lettuce leaves whole. Layer radish slices. Halve eggs and place yolk-side up. Scatter chives and tarragon. Dress at the table.
