Directions
- Boil the eggs: place them in a small saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 8 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water.
- While the eggs cook, wash and dry the lettuce, carrots, and parsley.
- Whisk together lemon juice with olive oil, honey, Dijon, cumin, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Remove parsley leaves from the stems, mince and stir them into the dressing.
- Peel and coarsely grate the carrots, then fold them into the dressing and let the salad sit to mingle flavors.
- Peel the eggs and halve them; sprinkle with a little salt.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with a splash of water and a pinch of salt to loosen it.
- Separate the lettuce into individual leaves and stack two leaves per wrap on each plate.
- Pile the carrot salad and egg halves onto the lettuce, drizzle with the mayo, scatter capers, and season with pepper before serving.
Two tips
- Prep the carrot salad and dressing ahead and refrigerate up to a day for quicker assembly.
- For a different texture, swap the grated carrot for a quick-dine of shredded cucumber or use more capers for extra tang.
