Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup lentils (preferably French green lentils)
6 oz thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips
2 leeks (white and pale green parts only), finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar, or to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 large eggs
1 cup baby spinach

Steps:

  • Cover lentils with cold water by 2 inches in a saucepan, then simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 20 minutes.
  • While lentils are simmering, cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, leaving fat in skillet. Add leeks, celery, and carrot to skillet and cook, stirring, until just tender. Add vinegar and boil until most of liquid is evaporated. Remove skillet from heat and stir in tarragon, half of bacon, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, covered, reserving skillet.
  • Drain lentils well in a large sieve. Stir into vegetable mixture and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm, covered.
  • Wipe skillet with paper towels, then add oil and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Fry eggs in batches until whites are just set but yolks are still runny and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide lentil salad among 4 plates. Top with spinach, eggs, and remaining bacon.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the lardons from this salad. It was still delicious! The lentils, fried eggs, and salad greens were all very flavorful.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover Easter eggs. I had a few hard-boiled eggs left over from Easter dinner, and they were perfect for this salad.

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. For example, I added some chopped walnuts for a bit of crunch.

I'm not usually a fan of fried eggs, but I loved them in this salad. The runny yolk added a richness and creaminess that really complemented the lentils and lardons.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I had some leftover lentils from a soup I made earlier in the week, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.
