8 -10 lettuce leaves |
4 radishes |
2 -4 hard-boiled eggs |

2. Cut the mint into tiny pieces, add this to the mix, then add the lemon juice. Mix it all up.
3. Put this mix in the middle of a large serving plate or platter. Garnish the plate with lettuce leaves, arranged nicely around the edge of the plate. Garnish also with hard boiled egg, and radish.
