Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, slice the red onion thinly, and thinly slice the radishes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lardons

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lardons until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In the same pan with the rendered bacon fat, add sherry vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until combined and warm.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Soft Eggs

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and simmer for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled effect. Remove and cool under cold water before peeling.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine, sliced red onion, and radishes. Toss with the warm sherry-bacon vinaigrette. Add the crispy lardons and olive oil croutons.

  6. 6

    Serve with Soft Eggs

    Divide the salad onto plates and top each with a soft-boiled egg. Season with additional salt and black pepper as desired.
