Fried egg salad with honey mustard dressing
Why should boiled eggs have all the fun? Eggs fried in extra virgin olive oil make for a great centrepiece in this simple salad.
Ingredients
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 free-range eggs
1 head butter lettuce, washed
1 tomato, cut into wedges
¼ red onion, very thinly sliced
freshly grated parmesan, to serve
For the dressing
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp whole-egg mayonnaise
¼ tsp honey
juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
salt and black pepper, to season
Method
Step 1
Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat and add the oil. Fry the eggs for about 3 minutes, spooning the hot oil over them to cook the top. Transfer the eggs to a plate and drain on a paper towel.
Step 2
Combine the mustard, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice and vinegar in a jug, then add the oil from the pan. Mix and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the lettuce, tomato and onion and toss to combine. Arrange the salad on a plate and top with the eggs. Season with salt and pepper, grate plenty of parmesan over the top, and serve.
