Scan­di­na­vian Flower-Egg Salad with Mus­tard and Dill

(serves four hun­gry peo­ple with other bits on offer as well)

2 tbsps may­on­naise
1 lb small red pota­toes, steamed
8 eggs, hard-boiled
1 head Bibb (Boston, but­ter, depend­ing on where you are) lettuce

Mustard-dill dress­ing:
1 part white wine vine­gar
3 parts olive oil
3 parts heavy-grain mus­tard
2 tsps sugar
1 clove gar­lic, minced
salt and pepper

Shake up all ingre­di­ents in a tightly cov­ered jar.

hand­ful dill, chopped
1/2 red onion, diced small

On a large plate, smooth the may­on­naise in a thin layer. Slice the red pota­toes thickly and arrange them in a layer on the may­on­naise. Cut the eggs in quar­ter wedges and arrange on the pota­toes as flower petals. Chop the let­tuce into sliv­ers and scat­ter over eggs.

At serv­ing time, driz­zle pret­tily with dress­ing and then scat­ter with dill and red onion. Deli­cious, and so light!
