As the only vegetarian in the family (and I don’t just mean out of my husband and daughters - I mean every family member on both sides!) it sometimes seems like I can be an extra burden when it comes to catering. But I always tell everybody, I love mezedes! Those Greek side dishes you might order in a taverna are usually precisely what I want - this way I get many tastes of many delicious dishes. Forget the ‘mains’!

This egg salad with shredded carrots was made by my sister for me at one of these family gatherings. Now, ‘egg salad recipe’ might not be your first Google search - but you have to give this a go! It’s a fresh, hearty, and super-tasty side salad that can easily function as a full meal when you want something lighter.

Start by adding the eggs in a small pot with boiling water and boil them for 10-12 minutes.

Once the eggs are done, let them cool completely, peel them and cut them in large pieces.

Wash and peel the carrots, and grate them a large bowl.

Continue by adding in the bowl the spring onion, parsley, dill, the chopped eggs, salt, mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar, and mix them gently (avoid breaking the eggs too much) until everything is combined.

Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
