Notes

Feel free to substitute lardons with thick-cut bacon, and mix different greens if frisée is unavailable. The dressing can be enhanced by adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for a tangy kick. This salad is best served fresh, but if needed, store the components separately to maintain their texture. Enjoy the contrast of the warm egg with the cool, crisp salad for an authentic taste of Lyon!
