Thank you......The OP's salad looks delicious to me. I'm surprised no one recognized the hard-boiled eggs as the major protein source in that meal.
Personally I can taste the similarity between hard-boiled eggs and avacados. Very true that some people's sense of taste is hard-wired differently from other people's. To some, cilantro tastes like soap; to me and many others, it just tastes like an innocuous Italian herb like basil or oregano. I find the taste of most sauvignon wines to closely resemble the smell/taste of furniture polish remover, but to many it is just an unremarkable dry wine.
The best salad I ever tasted was the antipasto platter at an Italian restaurant I used to go as a kid many decades ago with my parents. It had everything in it! Lettuce, cabbage, slices of provalone cheese, tunafish, hot peppers, sweet peppers, olives of many types, pickles, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, anchovies, and much more.
My favorite lunch these days is a toasted veggie sandwich with provalone, hot pepper relish or jalapeno slices, tomato slices, cucumber slices, avacado, onion, and romaine (the latter not so much this year).
Love basil, can’t stand basil pesto-tastes like black licorice to me. Go figure.
