Dinner salad shouldn't feel ascetic. That's why we called up bacon, cheese, and crispy mushrooms

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 oz. Parmesan
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. honey
7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 oz. slab or thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces
2 (8"-long) sprigs rosemary
1 lb. mixed wild mushrooms (such as shiitake, maitake, and/or oyster), woody stems removed
1 lb. chicory (such as radicchio, escarole, and/or frisée), leaves torn into 3" pieces
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Toss salad to coat leaves; season with salt and divide among plates. Shave remaining Parmesan over and top with bacon and poached eggs.

This salad was delicious! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The chicory was slightly bitter, the bacon was salty and crispy, and the poached eggs were creamy and rich. The dressing was also very good.

I'm not a big fan of chicory, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the bacon and eggs added a nice richness.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon and eggs. It's also a good way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

I would make this salad again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less chicory and more bacon. I would also add some croutons or nuts for some extra crunch.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The salad was good, but the dressing was a bit too oily for my taste.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if the chicory had been wilted or sauteed before adding it to the salad.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this salad, but I was pleasantly surprised. The chicory was a bit bitter, but it worked well with the bacon and eggs. The dressing was also very good.
