Cut all ingredients into small cubes and place in a bowl, except for the eggs. Sprinkle the peppercorns a little at a time over the salad mix, mixing well after each addition. Then add the diced eggs and mix gently again. If desired, add a little salt and/or vinegar before mixing. Store in the refrigerator at +2 to +8°C until ready to serve. Serve as a salad or as a topping on strong bread, such as brown bread. Garnish with two sliced, hard-boiled eggs and parsley, if desired. Note: This is my grandmother’s recipe.
