Salad lyonnaise
Salad lyonnaise conjures up the cuisine of the French city of Lyon and the region around: traditionally a salad of dandelion leaves with croutons, lardons and poached eggs.
Here is a slightly simpler version with shredded lettuce instead of dandelions.

Stage 9
For an attractive effect, you can cut open the poached eggs just before serving so that the yolk runs over the salad, or leave this for your guests to do themselves.
Remarks
Ideally, aim to keep some warmth to the salad by adding the lardons and croutons while they are still really hot, then serve immediately.
If you do find some young, tender dandelion leaves, lucky you! Try adding them to your salad instead of lettuce for an authentic taste of Lyon.

Keeping: Should be eaten as soon as possible while the croutons and lardons are still crunchy.
