Method

PLACE ALL THE INGREDIENTS ON A BOWL AND MIX WITH A LITTLE DRESSING.
THIS IS TO BE DRESSED WHEN THE TABLE IS CALLED AWATY ONLY .
IF NOT THE LETTUCE WILL BE LIMP AND THE SALAD WILL NOT LOOK FRESH.
COOKING THE QUAILS EGGS.
GET A TEFLON PAN AND BRUSH WITH A LITTLE OIL.
PLACE 15-20 EGGS IN IT AS ITS COLD UNTIL THE PAN IS COMPLETLY COVER IN EGGS.
