Lyonnaise Salad

• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 200 g pancetta (or a few slices of bacon, diced)
• 1 egg, per person
• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup white vinegar (or less, according to taste)
• 1 -2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or according to taste)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (or according to taste)
• bread croutons or toast, to serve

1. Wash and drain the lettuce and chop the leaves that are quite big, leave the rest as they are (you don't want them to get too small).
2. Fry the pancetta or bacon and dry on kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
3. To make the vinaigrette (best make this before frying the pancetta): slowly pour olive oil over the mustard, stirring thoroughly, so that you obtain a creamy, mayo-like consistence.
4. Add vinegar, again, pouring slowly and mixing (you can taste the mixture at this point, to make sure it is not too vinegary for you).
5. Add sugar and salt, mix thoroughly, and voila!
6. To serve, put the lettuce leaves on a big plate and pour some vinaigrette over them.
7. Put some fried pancetta on top, as well as one poached egg per person (if you prefer, you can fry the eggs sunny side up).
8. Pour a little more vinaigrette, garnish with bread croutons, or serve with toast on the side.
9. Make sure you have enough vinaigrette to leave on the table, so that people can have some more if they like.
10. Variation: you can substitute some (or all) of the iceberg lettuce leaves with other types of lettuce or with spinach leaves. Allow enough per person to fill a big plate with a little mound, but make sure you don't go overboard either.
