This sound fancy and it’s bit of a dress up salad, but this class frisee salad is bistro salad and easy to make at home. This salad works because it has texture, a bit of sweet, bitter, creamy, crunchy and salty.

It’s very typical to see a frisée salad with lardons and poached eggs on the menu in a French bistro.

What are Lardons?

A lardon, is a small strip or cube of fatty bacon. Cut thick bacon in half inch pieces crosswise. Fry them after cutting them. Drain on paper towels.

How to Make Red Wine Shallot Vinaigrette

When you make a vinaigrette, it’s important to make it sharp enough to bring brightness and enough acid to the salad. Taste a small amount with a spoon, but keep it mind it will be assimilated into the rest of the ingredients. Take a small pice of lettuce and dip it into your red wine shallot vinaigrette and use a little salt to taste. Always mix your mustard and acids first and slow add the oil. You can also shake all of this in a jar.

• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons minced shallots
• 1/4 red wine vinegar
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 to 3/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
• sea salt
• pepper
