Description

Mizuna is a peppery little leaf, and this micro version still packs a punch! We love to make a riff on a Lyonnaise salad with it, using lots of crisp bacon for saltiness and adding a poached egg to make it more filling. Some croutons would also be lovely.

  1. Combine the mustard, honey, olive oil and lemon juice in a clean lidded jar or bowl and shake or whisk to combine.
  2. Bring a pan of water to a simmer and make a whirlpool using a spoon, then drop in the eggs. Allow to cook gently until just set, then lift out with a slotted spoon.
  3. Combine the mizuna, bacon, hazelnuts and a little of the dressing.
  4. Arrange on two plates and top with the eggs. Add a little more dressing and serve immediately.
