Salted quail eggs and vegetable salad

Salted quail eggs and vegetable salad

For ovo-vegetarians, a bowl of this salad is substantial enough for a filling meal. For omnivores, enjoy it as a side dish to go with grilled or fried meat or fish. We had the salted quail eggs and vegetables salad with fried tilapia and talakitok (trevally) steaks.
