Bacon and Egg Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 egg
  • 3-4 strips bacon
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Cook the bacon, as you prefer. Blot grease.
  2. Poach the egg: fill a small saute pan with water and bring it to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  3. Add a few drops of vinegar.
  4. Gently crack the egg into a bowl, and then, tilting the bowl just above the water, carefully slide the egg into the water.
  5. Simmer until the egg white turns opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Set greens onto plate.
  7. Arrange bacon and egg on top.
  8. Whisk together, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt and pepper, then drizzle over salad.
  9. Add cheese, if you'd like.

Tip

Dry the greens thoroughly and dress them just before serving to prevent wilting.
