Instructions
Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water.
Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
Transfer eggs to cold water and let cool.
Peel and slice eggs horizontally.
Create Egg Daisies
Use a small knife to cut small petal shapes around the egg whites.
Place a tiny carrot or yellow pepper circle in the center of the yolk to resemble a daisy.
Make Salami Roses
Fold each salami slice slightly.
Arrange 4–5 slices in a row overlapping slightly.
Roll them tightly from one end to form a rose shape.
Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Prepare the Salad Base
Spread lettuce evenly on a large serving plate.
Scatter cherry tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, onion, and corn over the greens.
Arrange the Flowers
Place salami roses across the salad like decorative flowers.
Add egg daisies between them for contrast.
Sprinkle herbs for a garden-like appearance.
Make the Dressing
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle lightly over the salad just before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled as a starter or light lunch.
Pair with crusty bread, crackers, or grilled chicken.
Ideal for brunch tables, potlucks, or party platters.
