Dinner salad shouldn’t feel ascetic. That’s why we called up bacon, cheese, and crispy mushrooms
Ingredients
4 servings
Step 1
Finely grate half of the Parmesan into a large bowl. Add shallot, vinegar, honey, and 5 Tbsp. oil and whisk well; season dressing with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add rosemary and cook, turning once, until crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon and rosemary to paper towels.
Step 3
Add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil to skillet and heat over medium-high. Arrange mushrooms in pan in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, toss, and continue to cook, tossing often, until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with dressing, but don’t toss. Strip rosemary leaves off stems into bowl and add chicory.
Step 4
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce heat so water is at a bare simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl; gently slide egg into water. Quickly repeat with remaining eggs. Poach, rotating eggs gently with a large slotted spoon, until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Toss salad to coat leaves; season with salt and divide among plates. Shave remaining Parmesan over and top with bacon and poached eggs.

Back to TopThis is a spin on a classic French salad served in bistros. Chicory family greens are bitter, but adding bacon, egg and vinegar somehow creates magic. Eat all your colorful greens!

Incredible salad, I was nervous about the raw shallot (I hate raw onion) so I poured the vinegar over the shallot for a few mins to temper it before adding the other salad ingredients. This is the perfect dinner salad, hearty enough to fill you up, but light enough for hot summer nights.

This is a perfect dinner salad. Satisfying, with an amazing mix of flavors. No tinkering needed with this recipe. You'll want to make the dressing and mushrooms for other dishes. Don't miss it.

We liked this salad a lot! I would make sure you have a mix of lettuces so it's not too bitter with 100% radicchio, and would stick with sherry vinegar (adds a nice sweetness). With all of the bacon and cheese, this makes a great dinner salad. On the cheese note, it seems like an ungodly amount of cheese, so we only used about 3/4 of it and don't feel that the salad suffered greatly for the absence.
