Ingredients

The traditional French salad is enhanced with the addition of Austrian mustard, which adds a unique tanginess to the vinaigrette. We also use frisée or endive as the base greens, which are commonly used in Austrian salads. Additionally, we incorporate Austrian-style bacon, known as Speck, which has a slightly smokier flavor compared to the French version.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Frisée or endive — Make sure to thoroughly wash and dry the leaves to remove any dirt or grit. Tear them into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
- Austrian-style bacon (Speck) — Look for thinly sliced Speck, which has a smoky flavor. If you can't find Austrian-style bacon, you can substitute it with regular bacon.
Tips & Tricks
- For a twist, you can add some roasted pumpkin seeds or chopped walnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
- If you prefer a milder mustard flavor, you can use a combination of Austrian mustard and Dijon mustard in the vinaigrette.
- To make the salad more substantial, you can add some boiled potatoes or croutons.
Serving advice
Serve the Austrian-inspired Lyonnaise Salad as a refreshing appetizer or as a light main course. It pairs well with crusty bread or as a side dish to grilled meats.
Presentation advice
Arrange the salad on individual plates, placing the frisée or endive leaves at the bottom. Top with the crispy bacon and quartered eggs. Drizzle the mustard vinaigrette over the salad just before serving to keep the greens fresh and vibrant.
