Our take on a classic French bistro salad uses lean bacon medallions in place of fatty lardons and a low-oil, honey-and-mustard dressing.
Ingredients
Calorie controlled cooking spray
4 spray(s)
Bacon medallions, raw
8 rasher(s)
White Wine Vinegar
1 tablespoon(s)
Egg, whole, raw
4 large, raw
Lettuce
1 individual, frisée, trimmed and torn
White Wine Vinegar
1 tablespoon(s)
Dijon Mustard
½ tablespoon(s), level
Honey
¼ teaspoon(s), level
Chicken stock cube(s)
½ cube(s), 75ml stock
Olive Oil
1 tablespoon(s)
Garlic
1 clove(s), crushed
Instructions
1
Mist a large nonstick frying pan with cooking spray and set over a medium heat. Fry the bacon for 3-4 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp. Remove from the heat, chop into small pieces and set aside.
2
To make the dressing, whisk the white wine vinegar with the mustard, honey (if using), cooled chicken stock, oil and garlic. Season to taste and set aside.
3
Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the vinegar and reduce the heat to a simmer. Crack the eggs, one at a time, into the simmering water and poach for 3 minutes until the whites are just set and the yolks are still soft. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and put on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
4
Put the lettuce or salad leaves into a large bowl and pour over the dressing. Toss to coat, then divide between plates. Scatter over the bacon, top with the poached eggs and season to serve.
