  9. Scoop out the yolks into a bowl using a teaspoon.

  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Using a teaspoon, spoon the egg yolk filling into the hollows in the eggwhite halves, mounding it up attractively.
  14. Using a swivel vegetable peeler or a mandolin, shave thin ribbons lengthwise from the carrot, fennel and zucchini.
  15. Put the vegetable ribbons in a mixing bowl with the lamb’s lettuce.
  16. Shake the dressing again, then pour over the salad and toss together.
