Ingredients:

- 2-3 medium tomatoes
- 1/2 grated carrot
- 1-2 green onion stalks
- 3 boiled eggs
- Sheep cheese (to taste)
- Salami or pressed ham (optional, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste

Necessary tools:

- A large bowl
- A cutting board
- A grater
- A knife
- A spoon

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by rummaging through the kitchen to gather all the ingredients. Make sure you have a large bowl where you will mix everything together.

2. Cutting the tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes well and cut them into cubes. Whether you choose to cut them into heart shapes or simply cubes, the important thing is to add them to your bowl.

3. Grating the carrot
Take the carrot and grate it using a grater. The fine texture will add a crunchy note to your salad.

4. The sheep cheese
Using a spoon, scoop the sheep cheese out of the packaging and add it to the bowl. The sheep cheese will provide a rich and creamy flavor, perfect for balancing the salad.

5. The green onion and meat
Chop the green onion into small pieces and add it to the bowl. If you chose to use salami or ham, cut them into cubes or thin strips and mix them with the other ingredients.

6. The boiled eggs
Boil the eggs for 8-10 minutes, depending on how hard you prefer the yolks. Once boiled, let them cool, peel them carefully, and slice them into quarters. Arrange them nicely in the bowl for an appealing look.

7. Seasoning the salad
Add the olive oil and salt to taste. Gently mix all the ingredients so that the flavors combine, but without crushing the ingredients.

8. Serving
To add a touch of magic, take your deck chair out of the attic and enjoy the salad on the balcony. Put on your sunglasses and let yourself be carried away by the spring sun.

Serving suggestions
This salad pairs perfectly with a slice of fresh bread or a tortilla. You can accompany it with a glass of cold lemonade or a revitalizing green tea.

This salad is full of vitamins and minerals. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, while carrots are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which helps maintain eye health. Eggs provide quality protein, and sheep cheese offers calcium and healthy fats, necessary for a balanced diet.

Vegetarian option
If you want a vegetarian version, you can omit the ham/salami and add avocado for extra creaminess.
