Fancy Shmancy Salad With Quail Eggs and Tarragon Dressing image

This is fairly simple and the main attraction is the quail egg. If you have never had a quail egg, you will be pleasantly surprised! They taste delicious and I find that they peel much easier than chicken eggs. The taste isn't actually that much different than chicken eggs; maybe a little milder. The fresh peas add a crisp crunch to the salad. This light salad would be an impressive start to a meal.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The dressing was too oily, and the quail eggs were overcooked.
