Warm Salad with Bacon (Salade Tiede Aux Lardons) Recipe



Warm Salad with Bacon (Salade Tiede Aux Lardons) Recipes

Ingredients :

1/2 endive

1 small head of radicchio

25g (1 oz) lamb's lettuce or dandelion leaves

225g (8 oz) streaky bacon, preferably in one piece, cut into 2.5cm (1 inch) strips

45ml (3 tbsp) walnut oil

15ml (1 tbsp) Cognac vinegar or red wine vinegar

2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) mild wholegrain mustard

salt and freshly milled black pepper

Method :

Wash and dry the salad ingredients and break the endive into small pieces. Divide the endive, radicchio leaves and lamb's lettuce or dandelion leaves between four plates.

The bacon strips should be about 0.5cm (1/4 inch) thick. Put the strips in a small frying pan over moderate heat until the fat runs, then continue cooking until the strips are crisp and brown. Stir occasionally during cooking.

Pour off the excess fat, then add the walnut oil, vinegar, mustard and seasoning to the bacon. Heat gently for 30 seconds, then spoon the bacon and dressing over the salads. Toss the leaves with the bacon and dressing and serve at once.

Serves 4

The original warm salad consisted of lardons - strips of pork fat taken from the belly - browned and tossed with lettuce, endive and/ or young dandelion leaves. Strips of streaky bacon replace the lardons in this recipe.
