• 225 g feta, cut into thick slices

How to make Salad for breakfast

1. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 6–7 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon and allow them to cool until just warm. Peel the eggs and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, turmeric, 125 ml vinegar, 1 tsp salt, and 125 ml water. Add the vegetables and sweet onion, then let them sit until slightly softened and pickled. Ideally, allow them to sit for at least 1 hour, but if you are short on time, 10 minutes with gentle massaging will suffice.

3. Place the feta in a small bowl and drizzle with 60 ml oil and the remaining 30 ml vinegar. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes.

4. Drizzle the toast with oil and tear it into large pieces. Place the torn toast in a large bowl with the lettuce. Drain the pickled vegetables and add them to the bowl. Drizzle the marinating liquid from the feta over the salad, season with salt, and toss well.

5. Cut the eggs into quarters. Divide the salad among plates and top with the egg quarters and marinated feta. Sprinkle with sumac before serving.

6. Prepare the eggs and pickled vegetables up to 4 days in advance; cover and chill. Marinate the feta up to 1 week ahead; cover and chill.
