Ingredients

• 2 pieces itlog na maalat
• 120g, chopped tomato
• 1/2 small piece, sliced thinly red onion

Steps

1. Peel the salted eggs and cut each into wedges or rough chunks.
2. Place chopped tomatoes and sliced onion in a bowl.
3. Add the salted egg pieces and sprinkle with black pepper.
4. Toss gently for 20 to 30 seconds so the yolk lightly coats the tomatoes without turning mushy.
5. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving so the tomato juices balance the saltiness.
