We really really enjoyed this salad. I made as written, but my garlic was bad so I sprinkled just a bit of garlic powder over the salad before adding the eggs. I drizzled a bit of olive oil over top and skipped the red wine. What a great combination of flavor sensations and textures. The spicy chorizo, tart lemon, sweet orange and neutral flavor of the eggs really worked for us. DH liked it for (one) of his post-workout meals. Will definitely make this again - so quick and easy and really very satisfying. So glad I tried this recipe. Made for ZWT8 - Spain/Portugal and the Herbaceous Curvaceous Honeys.

This is a sleeper salad! I cannot convey how exotic and sexy this salad is; it has sweet, sour, and spicy. My photo doesn't show it chopped up just before eating; it doesn't show the citrus layer beneath. When picky DH tried this, he said we need to include it on our guest brunch rotation! That's a lot coming from him! This is going in my Best of 2009 cookbook! Thanks, Nif! Made for ZWT5!

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
