SAVOURY SALAD -- A LA FRANCAISE

Steps:

• Wash the potato, then cut it into small wedges.
• Boil the potato until just tender and let cool when done.
• At the same time, boil the eggs until hard boiled (about 10 minutes).
• Meanwhile, fry the bacon until it is as crispy as you like it.
• Once the bacon is cooked, use the fat in the pan to cook the mushrooms and onions.
• Set the mushrooms and onions aside when done.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and mustard.
• Throw the cucumber into the bowl, along with about half the herbs and the garlic.
• When the eggs are cooked, peel and let cool.
• When all the ingredients have cooled, get a big bowl and put the lettuce in, along with everything else prepared to this point except the eggs.
• Use your hands to mix the salad, making sure the dressing coats everything.
• Put salad evenly into two bowls.
• Chop the eggs into four wedges each and use as a garnish.
• Sprinkle remaining herbs on top and serve with a touch of pepper, if desired.
