Best Frisee Salad With Dijon Vinaigrette Recipes

FRISEE SALAD WITH DIJON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the bacon until browned and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoon of bacon drippings for the salad dressing, keep the remaining drippings in the pan to cook the eggs.
• In the bottom of a large salad bowl, whisk together the bacon drippings, honey Dijon dressing and lemon juice. Tear the heads of frisee into bite size pieces and place in the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat the ingredients.
• Heat the pan the bacon was cooked in and fry eggs to over easy consistency. Season each with a bit of salt and pepper. Divide the salad among 4 plates. Top each with some of the apple slices, almonds, bacon and a fried egg.

CHEF JOHN'S SALAD LYONNAISE

Steps:

• Remove and discard the root ends from each head of frisee lettuce. Chop leaves into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a large salad spinner. Fill with cold water, swish well to remove any dirt and sand, then drain and spin until completely dry. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Whisk shallots, Dijon, salt, pepper, and sherry vinegar together in a large bowl until well combined. Add oil slowly, a little at a time, and continue whisking until dressing is thick and emulsified; set aside.
• Place bacon in a cold pan over medium heat; cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the bacon is cooking, fill a pot with water. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of white vinegar and bring to a simmer.
• Place 1/4 of the chilled frisee in a mixing bowl. Add 1/4 of the cooked bacon (don't add too much bacon grease, but it's okay to have a little) along with a generous helping of the vinaigrette. Toss with tongs until frisee is thoroughly coated. Transfer to a salad plate or shallow bowl. Repeat to prep the remaining three salads.
• Drop eggs, one at a time, into the simmering water and let cook, without touching, for 20 to 30 seconds. Nudge them gently with a spoon to make sure they're not stuck on the bottom and continue to cook until whites are set and yolks are runny, 2 to 3 minutes more. Lift each poached egg carefully with a slotted spoon, drain well, and place carefully on a salad, flipping so the yolk is facing down.
• Sprinkle with cayenne, sea salt, and chives and serve.

FRISEE SALAD WITH WARM VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Fill a large skillet with water, bring it to a boil, and add the vinegar and a large pinch of salt. Reduce the heat until the water is just barely bubbling. Crack each egg into a small bowl and carefully slide the egg into the water. Cook until the eggs are set, about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and dab the bottom with paper towels to dry them off; set aside and keep warm.
• Put the bacon and shallots into a cold skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and cook over medium heat until the bacon is browned and crisp; be careful not to let it burn. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and set aside. Meanwhile, get a jar with a tight fitting lid. Add the mustard, remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Shake well to combine the ingredients, add the chives, taste, and season with salt and pepper.
• Put the frisee into a large bowl and toss it with the dressing the cooked bacon and shallots. To serve, place a large mound of salad onto a plate and top with a poached egg. Garnish with some chives and a drizzle of olive oil.
