APPLE PINEAPPLE CARROT SPICED SALAD WITH BOILED EGGS


HOW TO BOIL EGGS TO GET A SOFT, CREAMY YOLK: Bring the water up to a boil, then lower it to a rapid simmer. Add the eggs to the pot, and start your timer. If you’re just cooking a couple of eggs, five minutes is perfect for a runny yolk. Cool the eggs slightly by immersing them in an icy bath for 30 to 60 seconds. Eat them when they’re still warm!
