Instructions

Very spicy beef salad, as a small evening meal with ciabatta or as part of a cold buffet, low in calories

Clean the bell peppers and cut into thin strips. It’s best to also cut the gherkins into strips. Roughly chop the eggs. Mix all salad ingredients in a bowl. Mix a marinade of mayonnaise, yogurt, ketchup, harissa, salt, and pepper, thinning it with a little cucumber juice if desired, and mix it with the solid ingredients. Season to taste. The salad should taste really spicy. Serve either in a glass bowl or in individual portions in glasses. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes, seasoning again if desired. Tip: If you like, you can use a small, hot red chili pepper instead of harissa.
