Bistro turkey bacon salad with a sunny side egg on top and a bowl of croutons on the side.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Herbed garlic croutons: In a bowl, spray bread with cooking spray and toss with dill and garlic to coat evenly. Spread onto half of the prepared baking sheet. Lay bacon on remaining half. Bake for about 8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a small skillet heat oil over medium low heat and cook shallot for 5 minutes or until very soft. Remove from heat and whisk in 3 tbsp (45 mL) of the vinegar, honey and pepper; set aside.

  4. Step 4

    In a saucepan filled halfway with water, bring to a simmer; add remaining vinegar. Crack egg into small bowl and lower gently into water. Repeat with 1 more egg. Poach for about 4 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining 2 eggs.

  5. Step 5

    Toss salad greens with shallot dressing and divide among 4 plates. Chop bacon and sprinkle over salads with croutons. Top each salad with a poached egg and sprinkle with fresh dill if using.
