Salted Egg and Tomato Salad

Of course, for every fried food there must be a salty accompaniment. And while it may not be all that salty, it is salty nonetheless. You can purchase salted eggs at the Asian market, or you can make them yourself. Normally my dad makes them, but the ones here are store bought.

It's kind of weird - the sweetness of the tomato mingled with the salty egg and then you get that creamy yet grainy texture from the egg yolk. I swear I can taste shrimp paste, but my dad usually says it's "all in my head."

Making this salad is simple enough, dice the tomato and cooked salted eggs. Toss. Eat with any fried food you may have laying around, or on its own... it is a salad, after all.
