Salad with Canadian Bacon and Poached Eggs

This elegant bistro-style salad with poached eggs and bacon is a wonderful choice for a light lunch or a sophisticated starter. Inspired by the classic Lyonnaise style, this version uses lean back bacon and a sharp shallot vinaigrette to create a balanced, diabetes-friendly dish. The bitter notes of the frisée leaves provide a crisp foundation that pairs beautifully with the rich, runny yolk and the savoury heat of the freshly cracked black pepper.

Packed with high-quality protein and heart-healthy fats, this nutritious salad is as functional as it is flavourful. The combination of warm proteins and cold, dressed greens makes it a satisfying meal that fits perfectly into a balanced diet. Serve it immediately while the eggs are warm to enjoy the simple contrast of textures that makes this homemade salad feel like a genuine restaurant treat.

How to make Salad with Canadian Bacon and Poached Eggs

Whisk together mustard, salt, shallots, parsley, and 25ml vinegar in a large bowl. Add 45ml oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.

Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat and brown bacon with pepper, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.

Fill a deep 10-inch skillet with 1 1/2 inches of water and 1 teaspoon vinegar and bring to a simmer. Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide into water. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs, spacing them evenly. Poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer eggs to paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

Toss frisée with dressing. Serve topped with bacon and eggs.
