Lyonnaise Salad Recipe: Classic Warm French Salad Made Easy


  • Author: Cindy
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Description

  • Lyonnaise Salad brings frisée, warm mustard vinaigrette and poached eggs into a stunning French-bistro dish you can make at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 russet potato, diced

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • ½ shallot, finely minced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 medium to large head frisée lettuce, cleaned and torn into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 tablespoons reserved cooking oil (from sautéed plant-based or turkey alternative if desired)


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Toss diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one baking sheet.

  • Roast the potatoes for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy.

  • Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook your plant-based or turkey bacon alternative (if using) until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking oil.

  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the minced shallot, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Slowly add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the reserved cooking oil while whisking, until fully emulsified. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  • Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer.

  • Crack each egg into a separate small bowl. Stir the simmering water to create a gentle whirlpool and slide in an egg. Use a spoon to help the whites form around the yolk. Repeat with the second egg.

  • Poach for 3–4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on a towel.

  • In a large bowl, toss frisée with the vinaigrette until well coated.

  • Divide greens between two plates. Top with roasted potatoes and cooked protein (if using), then place a poached egg on each.

  • Season with additional salt and pepper and serve immediately.
